Hackers, start your engines! We’re opening up ticket sales for our tenth, the 2026 Hackaday Supercon, to take place Nov 6-8 in Pasadena, CA. As always, because we haven’t announced the full slate of talks yet, we’d like to give the Hackaday True Believers out there a bonus: early bird tickets for $150 instead of the regular price of $296 (plus fees). If you know you want to attend (and you know that you want to attend) do not delay and order your tickets now!
As we mentioned before, there are a few exciting changes coming to this year’s Supercon. First off, we are moving to a larger venue on Saturday and Sunday: a few blocks south at the ArtCenter South Campus. We’re looking forward to two larger stages, more room for attendees, and more space to spread out and hack. No longer crammed into a cozy alley, we’ll sprawl out in a luxurious courtyard.
We have more tickets available than ever this year, which is great because Supercons past have all sold out. But we’re not expanding so much that we’ll lose the killer signal-to-noise ratio and friendly hacker atmosphere that makes Supercon our favorite con.
But do get your tickets soon! Whether you get in at the True Believer rate or not, Supercon is a bargain. Two and a half days of fully catered hacking and entertainment, plus the great talks, make it a bargain. Then we throw in sweet hackable badge over the top. But it’s truly the assembled crowd that makes it a priceless experience.
If you’re a Hackaday Supercon regular, we look forward to seeing you again soon! If you’ve always wanted to attend, but never pulled the trigger, the nice round number of Supercon Ten is a great excuse.
Of course, the best way to attend any convention is as a presenter, and our call for proposals just got extended for another two weeks. If you have something you’d like to say: let us know soon!
Early bird already sold out??
Only TEN tickets ;) :p
missed out early bird by minutes =( but I’ll be there.
I don’t want to assume: will the badge support addons? (that isn’t too much to leak, is it?)
The badge must have an add-on, right?
yep also missed out…why not keep open for x hours or days?
I guess it’s number limited.
Shared hotel room:
Hi, I am a graduate student (male, 24) coming from Cornell Uni. I have a hotel room with 2 queen beds for $376.57 for Thurs night (Nov 5th) – Monday Morning (Nov 9th) checkout. I am looking for someone who would want to share a room to reduce cost (I paid total of $753.13 for the hotel room, already booked).
The hotel is the “Pasadena Inn Los Angeles Pasadena/Old Town”, which is the closest hotel I could find; 0.8 miles away from Supercon!
Please reach out to me at bdb98@cornell.edu if you are interested, I am happy to answer any questions you may have! [FYI my PhD work is in infrared astronomy, I work on novel solid-state spectrometer optics and fabrication for space telescopes.]

Darn those sold out quickZ! Will there be a 2nd release?
Also, after my house burned down in 2024 I stayed in pretty much every hotel and motel along colorado in Pasadena. So if anyone has a question about a hotel feel free to ask.
Am I missing something, or is it not very clear what the actual hours are for Supercon this year? It looks like there was basically a full day worth of stuff on Friday last year. But this year the first activity is at 5PM on Friday? So if I fly in on Friday afternoon will I be missing anything? And how late will things be going on Sunday evening?
