In addition, RFID Journal is pleased to present the 2023 RFID Special Achievement Award to Mark Roberti, the company's founder and editor. In 2022, Mark retired after 20 years' of educating companies about radio frequency identification and other Internet of Things technologies (see The Wind of Change, Connections and Recollections, and On Mark Roberti's Retirement), so that he could spend more time with his family.

Since retiring, Mark has launched a consulting firm, RFID Strategies, to help end-user companies deploy RFID successfully, and RFID firms to market their products more effectively (see RFID Journal Founder Launches Consulting Firm). For two decades, Mark has recognized other individuals at RFID Journal LIVE! events for their body of work. Now it's Mark's turn to be honored, and the entire RFID Journal team congratulates him for his extraordinary contributions.

This year's RFID Journal LIVE! event will showcase tags, readers, software and services from a variety of manufacturers. Nine industry-specific and how-to tracks will cover how RFID and IoT technologies are being used in retail and apparel, manufacturing, supply chain and logistics, healthcare and pharmaceuticals, the food chain, and inventory and warehouse management, as well as business drivers beyond inventory accuracy, the fundamentals of RFID, and how to integrate RFID into a manufacturing line.
