The Hackaday Superconference is this weekend and it’s the greatest hardware con on the planet. Tickets are completely sold out, but you can still get in on the fun by watching the livestream and joining Supercon chat.
For everyone who will be here in person, the entire Hackaday crew is busy as beavers preparing for your arrival. We’re assembling badges, rigging AV for the talks, stuffing goodie bags, calling caterers, and taping cables to the floor. This is by far the biggest Superconference yet.
Doors open at 9 am Friday at the Supplyframe HQ. This is your first chance to get your hands on the fantastic Supercon Badge that’s a freakin’ computer. The day is filled with badge hacking, workshops, badge talks, and a launch party. [Rich Hogben] and [Andrew Bakhit] will be doing live IDM sets on Friday night, as we celebrate into the wee hours of the morning.
Saturday, doors open at 9 am over at the Supplyframe Design Lab as we turn on the livestream and get the main event under way with over 50 speakers and workshops. Badge hacking continues throughout the weekend, and this year we’ve added the SMD Soldering Challenge to the fun. There will be meetups during Supercon; the Tindie meetup and the amateur radio meetup are both Saturday at 1 pm.

So cool, thanks for working so hard to put on a fun event~! This will be my first conference, as I finally feel like it won’t all go over my head, and I’m really looking forward to it. The badge is awesome, and will definitely be enjoyed well after the conference. Did you say… goodie bags?! I love goodies! Really hoping the AND!XOR team brings fun things, their DefCon badges are insanely cool!
Same!
First atendees should wear a shirt with “N00B” or something on them. XD
The one time someone (Mike?) asked the crowd, it looked like ~40% repeat offenders and 60% newcomers. That’s a lot of shirts.
Hope you had a good time!
The badges aren’t only available on the first day, right? I only ask because they aren’t mentioned mentioned anywhere other than just the first day summery.
