Perhaps Pasadena is a bit too far from home, or maybe you waited a few milliseconds longer than you should have and missed the tickets when they went on sale. Whatever the reason, the fact is that the vast majority of Hackaday readers won’t be able to join us at the 2019 Superconference. But thanks to the magic of the Internet, you’ll still be able to see the incredible talks we’ve got lined up.
Starting at 10 AM Pacific on both Saturday and Sunday, the live stream will allow you to virtually attend the ultimate hardware conference in glorious high definition. Many of the talks this year have a specific focus on FPGAs (and we’ve got an incredible badge to match), but you’ll also see presentations on subjects such as hacking quantum key distribution systems, the creation of free-form circuit sculptures, debugging PCBs with augmented reality, and using Peltier coolers for fermentation. Saturday evening we’ll reveal the winner of the Hackaday Prize live on stage, and come Sunday you can unwind with a look at the best and brightest badge hacks from the weekend.
We won’t lie to you, there’s more going on at Supercon than we can possibly fit into a live video stream. At an event where nearly every flat surface will be playing host to somebody fiddling with a piece of interesting hardware, there’s only so much you can do vicariously. If anyone knows how you can take part in the SMD Soldering Challenge over the Internet, we’re all ears. Whether you’ll be with us in corporeal form or otherwise, don’t forget to join the official 2019 Hackaday Superconference Chat and use the #supercon hashtag on your social media time sink of choice.
Why is this post stuck at the top of the ‘blog’ stream? I can see how it would be pinned at the top of the home page, but it had me thinking that the blog feed was frozen for the conference or something since every morning when I checked the blog it had the same over-one-page-tall post.
yeah…. that self promotion is bugging me too.
Maybe because people do not visit the frontpage that often? Like me. I usually “never” go to the frontpage and my bookmark points directly to the blog. I don’t think we should blame them for promoting their own event.
PS: Sorry Hackaday-Staff. I didnt want to report this post. I was just sleepy, hit the wrong link and apperently your report function doesn’t need a confirmation.
