RFID Journal LIVE! draws more than 3,000 leaders from around the world to discuss and show the latest in RFID applications, track and trace, asset tracking and anti-counterfeiting solutions. RFIDconnect, powered by EventMingle, enables attendees to find the exhibitors offering the products that interest them most, as well as to arrange meetings with speakers and other thought leaders attending the event.
