This year, the event will be held on Apr. 2-4 at Arizona's Phoenix Convention Center. The conference will feature four industry-specific and four how-to conference tracks, as well as six in-depth preconference workshops, including a converter workshop (also sponsored and co-hosted by Avery Dennison), fast-track training presented by RFID4U, the RFID Journal Awards, and the co-located IEEE RFID 2019 event. In addition, LIVE! will offer exhibits and demonstrations conducted by the industry's leading technology firms.
