Event overview
AIoT World Expo 2027 runs February 9-11 at the Greater Fort Lauderdale/Broward County Convention Center in Fort Lauderdale, Florida.
The three-day B2B event covers AI and IoT convergence, edge computing, AI-driven cybersecurity and vertical applications.
Expo Plus passes start at $199 in advance, with full conference passes from $999.
TL;DR
Meet systems integrators, platform vendors and enterprise buyers evaluating edge AI, connectivity and IoT security in one hall. The co-located TECHSUPERSHOW adds service-provider and channel conversations that are hard to schedule elsewhere.
Put your platform, sensors or security product in front of North American CTOs, IT directors and integrators who arrive with live deployment budgets. The co-located show broadens reach into managed services, connectivity and channel partners beyond a standalone IoT audience.

Impact
For a North American buyer, the show compresses several AIoT purchase conversations into three days: edge hardware, connectivity, platform software and security. The co-located TECHSUPERSHOW adds service-provider and channel buyers, which raises the chance of meeting a partner as well as a direct enterprise account.
Audience quality
The audience is senior enough to justify travel: CTOs, IT directors, IoT developers, security leads and integrators. The expected 23,000-plus attendance is broad, so book meetings in advance and treat the exhibit hall as a discovery layer rather than a guaranteed lead source.
Exhibitor outcomes
ROI depends on meeting density, not badge count. A 9 sqm booth in Expo Hall B suits a focused product demo, while a 36 sqm raw stand is needed for hardware or vehicle displays. Budget follow-up capacity before booking, because a three-day show can generate more leads than a small team can process.
Intelligence
Key market insights, trends, news and related events to help you understand the bigger picture.
Why it matters
AIoT spending is moving from pilots to production rollouts, and buyers now compare edge hardware, connectivity, platforms and security in one buying cycle. A Fort Lauderdale show places those vendors beside the managed-service and channel ecosystem of the #TECHSUPERSHOW, which is where many North American enterprise deals are actually assembled.
Key trends shaping this market and its wider industry.
AI moves to the edge
Enterprises are pushing inference onto gateways, cameras and industrial equipment to cut latency and cloud egress costs. Exhibitors that can show real deployment evidence will stand out from platform vendors still selling dashboards.
What it changes: Edge AI changes the hardware, connectivity and software mix a buyer needs, so the show floor becomes a comparison exercise across all three.
SourceSecurity is now an AIoT buying gate
Connected-device fleets are being pulled into zero-trust programmes, and AI-driven detection is being applied to operational technology networks. The 2027 agenda adds a quantum-readiness track, reflecting concern about long-lived device credentials.
What it changes: Security sign-off can stall an otherwise approved IoT project, so buyers arrive looking for vendors with auditable controls rather than bolt-on features.
SourceVertical AIoT beats generic platforms
Smart manufacturing, connected healthcare, precision agriculture and smart cities are being sold as packaged outcomes, not horizontal platforms. Buyers want references from their own sector and integrations with the systems they already run.
What it changes: Vertical proof shortens procurement and gives specialist exhibitors an advantage over general-purpose IoT platforms.
