Bring your devices to the two Testing Stations
To sell your Bluetooth® product you need to ensure your designs are properly qualified, and comply with Bluetooth license agreements. Bring your devices along to either of the Testing Stations at Bluetooth World 2017 to ensure it will complete all the Bluetooth SIG’s testing requirements and enable you to use the Bluetooth trademark.

We’re so excited about Bluetooth World 2017, and hope you will join us at the Santa Clara Convention Center to celebrate success with Bluetooth, and to experience the true spirit of innovation.
