Exploring IoT Possibilities in Amsterdam: The Things Conference & TechEx

This time we weren’t just walking the floor - The Curve team were manning a booth alongside our partner Blecon. Some of you may remember Simon Ford from Blecon speaking at our recent IoT event, where his session received great feedback and engaging questions. In Amsterdam we got to take things a step further, demoing our joint solution at the booth. It was brilliant to have people stopping by, asking smart questions, and getting a feel for the practical application of what Blecon offers and how we can harness that capability in the real world.

We also had the chance to catch up with our friends from Onomondo, who provide the SIM cards that power the Blecon Hotspots, so in more ways than one, we were connected! It really hit home for me how everyone in this space has a part to play, whether it’s connectivity, hardware, platforms or integration. Each piece of the jigsaw is vital and The Curve gets to bring them together into bespoke solutions for our partners and clients.

Beyond that, it was fantastic meeting other companies across the ecosystem, each bringing something unique to the table.  And on a less IoT-related note… I also discovered a new favourite Dutch delicacy: Bitterballen. Dipped in mild mustard alongside a cold beer = incredible.

As always, at The Curve we’re looking to extend our partnerships and open up new conversations. There are so many cool things happening out there, and we’d love to hear about them - whether you’re building part of the IoT puzzle or exploring how it can help your business.

If you couldn’t make it to Amsterdam, check out James’s video replay from the conference to see the demo in action. And if any of this sparks an idea, let’s talk, we’d love to explore how we can build something great together.
