The Open Hardware Summit 2023 returns to New York

The Open Source Hardware Association (OSHWA) was founded to promote the dissemination of technical knowledge and research while defending the freedom of users. For thirteen years, they have produced the Open Hardware Summit every year, providing a high-profile venue for the celebration of open source hardware. Marking its first in-person return since the 2020 virtual summit, 2023 sees the event again at NYU in New York. Two days of workshops, lectures and demonstrations begin on Friday April 28 and end with a counter lecture on Saturday.

I'm excited to attend this year's event - it's shaping up to be the hardware event of the year, with highlights including a keynote from roboticist Dr. Carlotta A. Berry, Fabricator Queen Steph Piper sharing the secrets behind her amazing instructions, Joey Castillo's Build-A-Book workshop and Anuradha Reddy and Christin Lundgren's Kolam Antenna Design Session.

If you're curious about the world of open-source hardware or want a deep dive into the current state of electronics, digital manufacturing, wearables, and fashion technology, I'm here to help. strongly recommends considering attending or participating online through OSHWA's YouTube. channel. Tickets to the virtual and in-person event are still available, as are digital and physical goodie bags, the latter including this year's coveted badge if you act fast!
