This year, too, IoT India expo succeeded in impressing the community. Even before the expo was over, a good percentage of the trade visitors said they would take part again in 2019. The exhibiting companies take an equally positive view. Next year, we will be launching another exciting co-located event, Embedded Tech India 2019 expo.
