Certification can be the difference between a smooth product launch and months of unexpected delays.

At #Unify2026, leaders from the Alliance, @WiFiAlliance, @TheThreadGroup, and @BluetoothSIG come together to share practical lessons from the certification journey, from early design decisions and testing strategies to avoiding common pitfalls that slow time to market.

Moderated by Jack Narcotta from @techinsightsinc, this session features Jon Harros, Lakshmi Narayana Mukkapati, Tom Sciorilli, and Daniel Cowling discussing how certification supports interoperability, strengthens market readiness, and helps products reach the market faster.

Whether you're building with #Matter, #Aliro, or other technologies, you'll leave with insights you can apply to your next product launch.
