The Internet of Moving Things

🎟️ YOU MUST REGISTER ON LUMA TO ATTEND THIS EVENT: https://luma.com/hardtech-forum-vancouver-april-2026
Since 1999, when MIT researcher Kevin Ashton uttered the words the "Internet of Things", the promise has been to track vehicles, equipment, and cargo in real time. In 2026, that promise is finally becoming practical. A new logistics stack is emerging built on RFID, BLE beacons, cellular telematics, cameras, and satellite connectivity. Devices can now run 10 years on a battery with hourly pings, and new systems are even experimenting with Bluetooth signals detected directly by satellites.
At the same time, AI is turning massive telemetry streams into operational insights. As tracking becomes cheaper and more ubiquitous, new questions emerge: what becomes possible when everything moving through the supply chain can be tracked, and where does the real value get created? In the hardware, the data, or the platforms that turn it into decisions?

HardTech Forum (previously known as Vancouver Hardware Meetup) is made possible thanks MistyWest and our gold sponsors Intent and Doane Grant Thornton, and silver sponsors Nordic Semiconductor and Boast.
Our events bring together tech enthusiasts, industry experts, and entrepreneurs for panel discussions on commercialization, funding, and scaling deep tech innovations. Our goal is to bridge the gap between emerging startups, established companies, and the broader tech ecosystem in a relaxed, informal setting.
