Avnet and Newark will share a dedicated exhibit space where attendees can engage with a range of Microchip-based demonstrations focused on Edge AI, FPGA acceleration, embedded computing, cloud connectivity, and industrial IoT applications. The booth will showcase how Microchip hardware, AWS cloud services, and /IOTCONNECT™ software work together to accelerate intelligent connected solutions from edge to cloud. Newark will be participating alongside Avnet and highlighting the same live demonstrations provided by the /IOTCONNECT™ team.
Beer Boat Regatta Sponsorship & Technology Enablement
In addition to our booth presence, Avnet is supporting one of the event's signature networking activities, the Beer Boat Regatta. The regatta combines engineering creativity with friendly competition and attracts significant attendee participation and visibility during the conference. The event includes boat-building activities followed by a series of head-to-head races held at the resort pool.

Sensor-to-Cloud via BLE Beacon and Gateway with /IOTCONNECT™, powered by AWS
SAMA7D65 Curiosity Kit + WBZ451 Curiosity - This combination of kits pairs the Microchip SAMA7D65 Curiosity Kit as a Linux-capable gateway with the WBZ451 Curiosity Board and a MikroElektronika Click™ sensor board to demonstrate an end-to-end Bluetooth® Low Energy sensor-to-cloud solution. The SAMA7D65 is a high-performance ARM® Cortex®-A7 CPU-based embedded MPU running up to 1GHz, with peripherals for connectivity, audio and user interface applications, including MIPI-DSI and LVDS with 2D graphics, dual Gigabit Ethernet with TSN, and CAN-FD. The WBZ451 Curiosity Board showcases the features, capabilities and interfaces of Microchip's Bluetooth Low Energy and Zigbee® RF Module (WBZ451PE) and includes a mikroBUS™ Click header for connecting MikroElektronika Click adapter boards. In this demo, sensor data captured by the Click board is transmitted over BLE from the WBZ451 to the SAMA7D65 gateway, which relays it to the cloud for monitoring and analysis.
