We’re thrilled to announce Supercon tickets are now available. The 2017 Hackaday Superconference is November 11th and 12th in Pasadena, California.
This is the ultimate hardware conference. Hackers, designers, and engineers from all over the world converge — from the greenest beginners to those who have made history with their designs. This is the Hackaday community, and the Supercon is your chance to experience all things involved in hardware creation for one great weekend. There will be unparalleled talks and workshops, but the experience of Supercon transcends the organized event. We call it a conference but it’s truly a hacker village.
Call for Proposals
Want to present a talk (or a workshop) at this year’s Supercon? Great, please submit your proposal using this form.
The number one question we get about CFP is “I’m excited about X, should I submit a proposal?” The answer is yes. Don’t self-eliminate — if you have an idea for a talk we want to hear from you. Supercon is a flat conference, your proposal will be judged on the idea and how you plan to present it, not on how many other amazing speaking slots you’ve secured.
To help get your mind moving about topics, we suggest that you consider this list of themes your talk might fit into: Engineering Heroics, Prototyping, Research, Product Development, Full-Stack Fabrication, and of course Wildcard.
Tickets! Get Your Tickets Here!
Are you a true believer? We’ve just opened up the Call for Proposal today, so we can’t tell you who’s speaking or what workshops will take place. However, we suspect there are many of you ready to take the plunge right now. Those first 96 true believers get an incredibly low ticket price of $128. This covers admission for both days of the con, admission to the Hackaday Prize party on Saturday night and food on both days.
This is the third year we’ve hosted the Hackaday Superconference. You can check out all of the talk videos from last year, there’s a slew of articles on the event, and of course it was really fun seeing the geeky and unique shirts on exhibit throughout.
Get your ticket and book your travel. We look forward to hanging out with a huge chunk of the Hackaday community at Supercon!
Had a great time last year and I have been waiting for the announcement for this years Supercon
I had a blast last year too. I spent way too much time on that Crypto Challenge which Voja came up with. I even missed some talks that I really wanted to see because I was off hacking on other things or lost in conversation. Looking forward to this year!

Hey, are you people thinking about Europe again? Maybe this time in a city who respect (part) of the human rights ?
Europe is always on our minds for live events. In the not-too-distant future we would like to do another multi-day event. But there’s a good chance we’ll have a one-day event to talk about soon. Keep your eyes on the front page (maybe sign up for the newsletter in the footer of this page).
What are you implying? You’d like a trip to Istanbul or Tirana?
Engineering heroics? This is where you run in and save the day?
In a sense, you are correct. It’s when you had a difficult problem and figured out a way around it that, in retelling the story, will have the Hackaday crowd cheering for the work.

Is there anyone in “hackaday” who can help with invitation letters for non US citizens? Already have a visa but it’s nice to have some invitation letter when crossing the border…
That’s a great point. Looking into it right now.
Proposal submitted :-)
Wow those early tickets went FAST. I guess I’ll have to submit a proposal for a workshop or a talk…
I’m really considering if I should do one on doing microfluidics….
What times do things usually start on Saturday and wrap up on Sunday? Do people get together on Friday too?
Trying to figure out flights….
Yep, we’re doing early check in and a party for all ticket holders and presenters on the Friday before SuperCon this year. Book your Flight for Friday and join us!
Where/When do the details about Friday and workshops (costs) get sent out?
I bought a ticket a while back through eventbright, but it’s unclear to me if I’m waiting to hear about the details or if I’ve missed something?

Are the proceedings published after the conference? (I’m still relatively new to Hackaday, so have not yet explored the entire site.) I am sure many followers cannot attend in person, but may find the presentations valuable.
