The 2026 installment of Hackaday Europe was final weekend, and I’m nonetheless basking within the heat glow of hanging out with such an inspiring group of hackers. It’s exhausting to emphasise how vital it’s, perhaps particularly for these of us on the within of Hackaday, to get to nerd out collectively like that. Whereas we do our greatest to current your tales on our pages, there’s simply no substitute for getting to speak about tasks, hacks, and desires in actual life.
Whereas we are able to’t convey you all the side-conversations that happened, we did handle to get the talks recorded, and we’ll be writing them up shortly. Now we have some dangerous information on that entrance, although: attributable to a technical limitation with the setup that the college had in place, we solely acquired the audio and slide feeds, and never the digicam that ought to have been filming the presenters. Nonetheless, now we have a document of most every thing that went down on the principle stage, so keep tuned.
We all know that not everybody could make it out to both Supercon or Hackaday Europe, however we heartily suggest preserving your eyes out for native hacker occasions close to you. This weekend, there’s Open {Hardware} Summit in Berlin, as an example. If you happen to’re close to NYC, there’s HOPE developing in August. In case your tastes run extra towards retrocomupting, there is perhaps a Classic Laptop Competition chapter close to you. Heck, contemplate trying into a few of the extra mainstream occasions as effectively, if that’s what’s in your neighborhood.
It’s positively extra of an effort to get out to an occasion within the bodily world, however the connections you make with fellow hackers are completely value it. Any occasions that we should always find out about?
