What to Expect at LIVE24

At SmartSense, we are preparing for our third annual user conference, LIVE24, which will be held in Phoenix, AZ, October 16-18. We’re building upon the tremendous success of last year's LIVE23 event, with a projected attendance of over 200 participants, double the number from last year. LIVE24 promises to be an even more impactful gathering for product safety experts from the retail, food service, pharmaceutical, and healthcare sectors.

First and foremost, everything we do is all about the people. We are focusing on the customer’s journey from a career and professional perspective and supporting them as they increase their contribution to their respectful companies. It’s so much better to have networking and educational events in spaces where attendees can also relax, spend time with their families, and enjoy a new destination. Recognizing the intense nature of the multi-day event, we’ve planned special evening surprises to help attendees unwind and recharge. These activities will provide a welcome respite from the packed schedule of learning, networking, and collaboration.

While speaking with some of the attendees from last year, they mentioned that they wished they had brought more people from their organization so they could have representatives within each of the dedicated industry tracks. We’re foreseeing more companies sending multiple people to take full advantage of participating in multiple tracks and gleaning insights from different industries and peer groups.

The conference will feature opportunities for attendees to mingle with SmartSense's Board of Advisors. This unique experience not only allows customers to directly engage with industry leaders but also provides the Board with invaluable first-hand insights into the challenges and aspirations of SmartSense's user base, which in turn will shape the future of SmartSense.

A cornerstone of LIVE24 will be the comprehensive product roadmap presentation, where SmartSense's product management team will unveil the vision for the future that we’re building with our customers and prospects. Feature keynote speakers will be announced soon—we’re excited to select speakers tailored to both the executive perspective and the daily user persona, offering valuable frameworks and thought leadership relevant to the various roles and responsibilities.
