The countdown is on for PTC LiveWorx 2023!
Scheduled to start May 15, PTC will welcome more than 6,500 customers, partners, and friends, to Boston’s Innovation District for a four-day event focused on product lifecycle innovation.
The event is centered on delivering superior value to attendees from product trainings (free for All Access Pass holders) to actionable content sessions to real-world customer stories to an incredible show floor—Xtropolis—full of unexpected surprises.
Here’s a look at some of the latest can’t-miss additions to the event.
Inspirational keynotes
LiveWorx will kick off with a keynote presentation from PTC CEO Jim Heppelmann. Covering the many changes in the approach to digital transformation over the past few years and how PTC has responded to those changes, from embracing the transformative power of SaaS to focusing on sustainability across engineering, manufacturing, and service.
On Wednesday, Steven Johnson, best-selling author and TED Podcast Host, will start the day’s content by talking about the secrets behind unusually creative individuals and organizations, how each of us can foster decision-making, scientific progress, and collaborative innovation in our organizations.
On Thursday, adventure-athletes and award-winning director Alex Honnold and Jimmy Chin will share inspirational stories about how dedication, hard work, mental focus, and calculated risks can lead to new heights in business and life and how to lead a life of purpose.
>>We recommend an in-person All Access pass to get the most out of the event but if you’re not able to attend in person, a free LiveWorx virtual pass is available.

Innovation at center stage
Attendees will be treated to a show floor like no other: Xtropolis, a 170,000 square foot technology playground. This exhibit hall will have more than 70+ demonstrations from companies showcasing real-life PTC technology applications and success stories. Explore an interactive end-to-end digital thread experience with Vestas, the most sustainable company in the world, see Purdue University’s Smart Factory, powered by ThingWorx, Kepware, and Vuforia, and check out Komatsu’s next-generation life-size wheel loader. That’s just a start.
Complementing the demos are the IgniteTalX stages –there’s three!—featuring quick, 15-minute sessions on a variety of digital transformation topics, as well as Tech Tours offering a guided look at some of the demonstrations.
There will be moments of fun, too, like a robotic boba barista and mini golf!
