Why Attendance Matters

Skipping the OmniAir Plugfest means missing direct access to global experts, panel discussions, and demonstrations that cannot be livestreamed or summarized. Attendees will leave with insights and partnerships that prepare their teams for deployment and next-generation mobility.

Registration is limited. While others wait for secondhand updates, real breakthroughs will be happening in the room.
