RFID Journal has announced that its RFID Journal LIVE! 2019 conference and exhibition will include a special workshop, RFID for Airline Baggage Tracking, which will be run in cooperation with the International Air Transport Association (IATA). The workshop will be free for all airline executives who wish to attend.
RFID Journal LIVE!, now in its 16th year, is the world’s largest event focused on radio frequency identification and its many business applications. The conference will be held on Apr. 2-4 at Arizona’s Phoenix Convention Center. The baggage-tracking workshop, sponsored by RFID Global Solution, will take place on Apr. 2.
