Thank You, Thread Group Members, For Making This Year Possible

October 28, 2022

Collaborative organizations, such as Thread Group, rely heavily on the hard work and dedication of their members. We are incredibly appreciative for the passion, expertise and commitment of our member organizations. Without them, we would not be where we are today. Thread Group recently wrapped up our Fall 2022 Members Meeting where we gathered in Malaga, Spain to celebrate the remarkable milestones Thread has reached this year. With the launch of Thread 1.3.0, our members put in countless hours to achieve what we believe will alter the smart home and smart building industry.

We would like to thank a few specific members for going above and beyond to make this year possible:
