INNON at FIN Connect 2026 — What We're Bringing to Verona
Next week we're in Verona.
On 23 June 2026, J2 Innovations hosts FIN Connect 2026 at the Crowne Plaza Verona — the first annual gathering of the Southern European FIN ecosystem. Engineers, system integrators, building owners, and technology partners from across the region, all in one room, all talking about the same thing: what it actually takes to make buildings work properly.
INNON will be there. Here's why it matters.
The conversation is changing
For years, the BMS industry has sold features. Driver counts. Licence tiers. Points capacity. Building owners glazed over. Engineers competed on price. The chain treated BMS as a cost, and everyone downstream paid for it.
That's changing. The conversation is shifting from what a system can do to what a building should feel like — for the people inside it.
FIN Connect is where that shift is happening in Southern Europe.
What we're showing
We're presenting Link Edge — our LoRaWAN sensor platform built for the FIN Framework ecosystem.
Link Edge is how you give any building a monitoring layer without touching a wall. Wireless sensors. Open protocol. No cabling, no landlord negotiation, no M&E coordination. Deploys in hours. Feeds FIN Intelligence directly. Native BACnet output — Niagara sees it as just another BMS device.
For Italian system integrators working on retail estates, hospitality, historic buildings, and multi-site commercial portfolios, it's the entry point to a conversation your clients are already trying to have — they just don't have the language for it yet.
We'll help you find the language.
Why Italy, why now
We walked through Chelsea. Same street, same 30°C heat. Zara — perfect climate, presence-detecting fitting rooms, shoppers who stayed and bought. The store next door — too hot to stay, shoppers out the door before they'd looked at a single rail.
Same street. Same heat. Same shoppers. Two completely different buildings.
Italy has some of the most architecturally significant and commercially active retail and hospitality stock in Europe. Most of it is running on assumptions made at handover — no data, no visibility, no accountability.
That's not a complaint. That's an opportunity — for every SI in the room on 23 June.
Come and find us
If you're attending FIN Connect 2026, come and find us at the INNON stand. Bring your next project. Tell us what you're speccing. We'll tell you honestly whether Link Edge fits — and if it doesn't, we'll tell you that too.
If you're not attending but want to understand how Link Edge works on your type of building, book a Solution Consultation. The conversation is free. No pitch.
