This workshop will offer attendees hands-on experience with technology that is changing the way products are made, distributed, sold, used, reused and recycled. Battery-free Bluetooth tags are now being deployed by some of the largest companies in retail, CPG, pharmaceuticals and apparel. This is a chance to learn the theory and get hands-on with the technology, aided by the engineers pioneering this space. Each attendee will receive a starter kit, and by the end of the day, you will leave with a working system for proofs of concept within your company.

The workshop fee is $699 and includes the starter kit, which attendees may keep. It also includes access to all general sessions and keynote addresses on Tuesday and Wednesday, all conference sessions on Tuesday and Thursday and exhibit hall access all three days of RFID Journal LIVE! It does not include access to RFID Professional Institute Fast-Track training or the IEEE RFID 2022 co-located event.
