Applications of IoT communication with LoRaWAN and RIOT

Details
Come to HAW to learn and meet IoT focused people. We are putting on a presentation that will introduce LoRa and LoRaWAN, what applications does this technology enable, what are the new features that have come out, and how to use RIOT to get something up and running.
Everyone interested is welcome, from engineers to makers. Some basic technical knowledge would be useful (especially if it is C). However, there should be something for everyone.
The event is free and snacks and refreshments will be provided. Nothing is necessary to bring but if anyone is interested in following along any demonstrations they could bring a computer.
The general plan is:
18:30 - Everyone arrives, mingle, get some snack or drinks
18:45 - Start the presentation
19:45 - Finish and go over questions
20:00 - If people are interested head to a pub for networking and sharing technical stories
