Community Event Solingen 18 November 2023
Hi community,
We like to invite you to the Smart Living Forum Solingen, a community event hosted by the City of Solingen, with a special focus on open source, and co-organised with the communities of openHAB and ioBroker. It’s a day full of opportunities to discuss and learn about OpenRemote, meet other users, see inspiring applications, and dive into specific technical topics. Doing it jointly with OpenHAB and ioBroker is an opportunity to exchange ideas and get inspired by others facing similar challenges.
On a special note: the City of Solingen organises a Meet & Greet pizza event at 7:30pm only for us, the open source community members. Would be great to talk further over a beer! Please register for the Meet & Great so the City knows the numbers. No need to register for the event itself.
The event will be on Saturday 18 November in Solingen. As OpenRemote we will have a booth, organise a few breakout sessions, and have invited speakers presenting real live IoT applications at scale. Here’s the agenda, note that most presentations will be in German.
