What the Community Said about Sensors Converge:
“Another great Sensors Converge! My favorite part is all the connections and interaction. Over 5,000 registered and between our three technical partners at the event we got over 150 quality leads,” said Anthony DePaolantonio, W5 Engineering.
“Ten years of attending Sensors Expo & Conference, and this one was extra special. Walking the floor, I was reminded why our sensor community feels more like a family. I reconnected with mentors whom I continue to look up to, swapped war stories with my “sensor brothers,” and met bright new minds pushing the boundaries of what’s possible. The energy was contagious—each year the buzz grows louder, the ideas bolder, and the collaborations stronger,” said Kunal Bajaj, former Google, Nest Labs engineer.
“We had an incredible experience exhibiting at Sensors Converge in Santa Clara last week! For our team at Very, the highlight wasn’t just the cutting-edge tech on display—it was the chance to connect in person, share ideas, and build relationships with those shaping the future of connected devices. Heading home inspired and energized by the community,” said Very.
“It was an incredible opportunity to connect with customers, hear insights from technologists, and explore the latest trends shaping our field. Can’t wait to see everyone next year!,” said Isabelle Lui, STMicroelectronics.
“Sensors Converge was an award-winning experience from our jam-packed booth to our powerful meetings and our Best of Sensors trophy!,” said Sarah Carlson, ams OSRAM.
“Super productive week at #sensorsconverge conference in Santa Clara. We learned a ton about a lot of nerdy stuff and came away with some clear plans for integrating into our roadmap,” said Mason Bradford, KineticoPRO.
“The event was well attended with the exhibition floor buzz on both days of the conference with some great technical sessions that showcased the present and future of sensors in the age of edge AI,” said Leonard Lee, neXt Curve.
“It was exciting to see innovations in sensor technology, IoT, edge AI, and embedded systems — and how they’re shaping industries like healthcare, robotics, and industrial automation. Even better was reconnecting with familiar faces and meeting so many new ones. Looking forward to new collaborations ahead,” said Valentina Podgainaia, Orion Innovation.
“Sensors Converge brought together some of the most exciting innovators in the industry and Solaires Entreprises Inc. was proud to be part of it. Our team had some amazing conversations and came away with strong leads and new connections that we’re eager to build on. Events like this are a great reminder of how much interest there is in sustainable technology — and how valuable it is to connect directly with experts advancing practical solutions,” said Sahar Sam, Solaires Entreprises.
“Just back from Sensors Converge 2025 and amazed by the innovation and energy at the event! From AI-powered edge computing to next-gen MEMS, the conference united brilliant minds pushing the boundaries of sensing, connectivity, and intelligent systems. Sensors have transformed into the cornerstone of smarter products in automotive, industrial, consumer, and medical sectors. Excited to be part of an industry constantly evolving and redefining possibilities,” said Mazen Allawi, GlobalFoundries.
