ConnectivityWeeks are global events held in key market regions to promote the development of device centric connectivity for 21st Century's growth of the Pervasive Internet. Every ConnectivityWeek gathers together vertical and horizontal subjects that have one common theme; Connectivity.

“The Chicago event started what we hope will be a successful series of ZigBee Expos and Prague is set to continue this trend,” said Bob Heile, chairman of the ZigBee Alliance, "Technology and market acceptance of ZigBee is well recognized around the globe. Growth is being driven by the increased interest and demand for energy management solutions, particularly in the infrastructure and building automation areas, which is paving the way for ZigBee to be a key component of solutions in the energy management arena."
