<H3>November 2nd, 3rd, and 4th in Pasadena CA</H3>
SATURDAY DOORS OPEN AT 9AM
The Hackaday Superconference is the greatest gathering of hardware hackers, builders, engineers and enthusiasts in the world.
Supercon 2018 is 3 full days! Join us November 2-4 (2018) in Pasadena, CA. The conference begins on Friday, November 2nd at 10 am with workshops and badge hacking. Supercon attendees are also invited to celebrate with drinks and appetizers at our <A HREF="https://www.eventbrite.com/e/hackaday-superconference-2018-kick-off-tickets-49907151634" TARGET="_blank" REL="noopener noreferrer">kick-off celebration</A> at Supplyframe headquarters that Friday (November 2nd) evening. 
The complete  <A HREF="https://hackaday.io/superconference" TARGET="_blank" DATA-MSYS-CLICKTRACK="0" REL="nofollow noopener noreferrer">schedule is up</A> and it is incredible!
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.
