Hackaday, the world's largest community of engineers and engineering enthusiasts.

Hackaday

<H2>Hackaday Superconference</H2>
<H3>November 15th, 16th, and 17th in Pasadena CA</H3>
The Hackaday Superconference is the greatest gathering of hardware hackers, builders, engineers and enthusiasts in the world.
Expect something different. Hundreds of engineers and engineering enthusiasts gather for organized talks and workshops along with the extemporaneous challenges, conversations, and discovery that make Supercon the ultimate hardware conference.
The Supplyframe DesignLab is once again opening their doors for Supercon. This, combined with the excellent performance hall in the adjoining LA College of Music and the private outdoor venue that connects the two, and you have the perfect scene for a hacker village to take shape.
Supercon 2019 is 3 full days! Plan to arrive Thursday evening and take part in an impromptu meetup at a nearby bar. The conference officially begins on Friday at 10 am with workshops and badge hacking. Enjoy drinks and appetizers at our kick-off celebration at Supplyframe headquarters Friday evening. Talks start Saturday morning with doors opening at 9am. The day will conclude with the Hackaday Prize ceremony where the grand prize winner will be revealed, follow by a party late into the night. Talks and workshops continue Sunday, with the badge hacking ceremony closing the conference around 6pm. Make sure to hang around for the unofficial afterparty.
