It’s 10:00 a.m. in Fort Lauderdale. There’s a breeze coming in off the ocean, the coffee is still warm, and the ballroom is buzzing. Samsung devices glow on demo tables, partners greet each other like old friends, and conversations start before the signs are even hung up. That moment marked the beginning of our 2025 Connected Solutions Expo Series.
Since then, we’ve logged a few thousand miles, met hundreds of attendees, and hosted four different events with one shared goal: creating space for smart, grounded conversations around enterprise mobility and connectivity. This isn’t just about showcasing the latest tech, it’s about helping people see what’s possible.
Here’s a behind-the-scenes look at the first half of the journey:
Fort Lauderdale, FL – The Kickoff That Set the Tone
The sun-soaked shores of South Florida welcomed us with open arms and high energy. Our first stop set the tone with a keynote from Chris Cooper of AT&T Labs, who broke down how private 5G, FirstNet, and mobile technologies can work together to support real-world operations. Rather than focusing on future promises, he shared field-tested insights on integrating networks, devices, and applications to solve critical challenges.
Scottsdale, AZ – Desert Views, Disruptive Voices
Next up: Scottsdale. The setting? The stunning Westin Kierland Resort & Spa, where the desert skyline was only outshined by the insights shared inside. One of the major highlights here was our expert mobility panel, a group of industry leaders who offered clear, candid perspectives on everything from field deployment challenges to long-term support strategies, grounded in real-world outcomes. Attendees listened and engaged with thoughtful questions and deep follow-up conversations that carried well into happy hour.
Houston, TX – Big Ideas in the Lone Star State
Yes, everything really is bigger in Texas, including the ideas. Houston was a full house, with some of the most animated discussions we’ve seen. The standout? A forward-thinking session from Texas A&M’s RELLIS Campus on building smart infrastructure that actually works in the field. This wasn’t future talk. It was “here’s what we did, here’s what didn’t work, and here’s how we fixed it.”
San Jose, CA – Innovation at the Epicenter
Our fourth stop brought us straight into the heart of innovation: Samsung Semiconductor Inc. HQ in San Jose. Nestled in Silicon Valley, this location radiated tech-forward energy. The crowd was sharp, the conversations were thoughtful, and the synergy between hardware, software, and connectivity was on full display. This was all in part due to RAM Mount’s insightful presentation on Push-to-Talk solutions, which prompted thoughtful follow-ups that extended well beyond the day’s final session.
What Makes This Expo Series Different?
This isn’t a tradeshow. It’s a conversation hub. A networking zone where things get real. Every city we visit becomes a chapter in a bigger story, one where rugged mobility and enterprise connectivity are no longer separate goals, but partnerships are made.
We designed the Expo Series to bring together decision-makers, field experts, and solution builders. Whether you’re deploying a thousand devices or just getting started, this series is built to meet you where you are and show you where you can go.
What’s Next? Philadelphia and Beyond
We’re only halfway done. The back half of the series is already heating up, and we can’t wait to hit the next round of cities. First up? Philadelphia. Register now for your spot at the Philadelphia show 👉https://3eyetech.zohobackstage.com/PhiladelphiaConnectedSolutionsExpo
And trust us, if you thought the first four cities were good, just wait until you see what we’ve got planned next.
Until next stop—see you on the road.
