Opening Keynote - Let's build this thing together
summary
1,900 people attend this conference edition and the organisation reports 30% year‑on‑year growth, 1,500 customers and around 3.8 million devices sending roughly 4,000 messages per second through the Things Stack. The platform claims multi‑tenant SaaS scale, 70% open source code, 5,500 device profiles and a €600,000 Kickstarter that funded developer hardware. The concrete takeaways are platform scale, integration-first strategy, measurable traffic and a working open device repository rather than vague future promises.
