@ electronica 2026
– Out of the Lab and into the Field
The embedded, IoT & edge AI showcase at electronica
Companies building products don’t need theories or concepts. They need practical guidance and hands-on experience to get to market on time and under budget.
edge lab LIVE! (ELLi) is the premier technical conference and exhibition for edge AI, edge computing, and CRA-compliant embedded and IoT product development on open source and open standards technology.
Taking place at electronica from November 10-13, ELLi is organized by renowned embedded trainers and implementers. Edge ecosystem stakeholders can follow ELLi’s four-step approach to move from awareness to engagement to design win ROI.
