We're happy to announce the Hackaday Dublin Unconference! Get on the waitlist, as tickets have sold out. We will release tickets as folks cancel orders.

The Hackaday Dublin Unconference is happening in the Temple Bar neighborhod of Dublin at the Project Arts Centre (39 Essex St E, Temple Bar, Dublin 2, D02 RD45, Ireland). Join Mike Szczys, Editor-in-Chief of Hackaday, Contributing Editor Jenny List, Supplyframe Product Manager Sophi Kravitz, and Tindie Product Manager Jasmine Brackett for a day of hardware talks, food and drinks, hacks and projects.

What is an Unconference? The best way to jump into what is new and exciting in hardware and technology right now. It's an opportunity for peer-to-peer learning, collaboration, and creativity. Everyone who attends should be ready to stand and deliver a 7 minute talk on something they are interested in right now. This is not something you prepare for and polish for six weeks. We want to know what's on your workbench right now, what new skills you've been teaching yourself, and the groundwork you've been laying for the next big project. Bring your excitement and use it to inspire everyone in the room.

Thank you to DesignSpark, the exclusive sponsor of the Hackaday Dublin Unconference. DesignSpark, the engineering community of RS Components, provides free tools, resources and inspiration to over 570k engineers globally. It is with their support that we are able to book an amazing venue (Project Arts Centre) and offer tickets at no cost to bring the Hackaday community together from across Ireland and beyond.

What to Expect: A day full of camaraderie with new and old friends. Doors open at 12:30pm. The Unconference will be a single track of talks, broken up with time for socializing, and dinner. We will provide tea, coffee, and snacks throughout the day and a meal before the final session.

Everyone should come prepared to present a talk. Props are highly encouraged so bring a hack, a product you've developed, a prototype you've built, or a new part you're excited about. Slides are not mandatory but we encourage you to give it a try -- just limit yourself to about 4 or less due to time constraints and bring any adapters you need for the projection system.

The day revolves around spontaneity. You will find out your speaking time as the person before you is getting started. This is part of what creates the energy and excitement of the event. We do have a few notable speakers lined up but we won't know what they're actually talking about until we get there. This is the 'Un' in Unconference; you are the secret ingredient. We can't wait to see you on 4 April!

Hi all, thanks for the awesome event yesterday, what an inspiring variety - I enjoyed it very much and still have a grin on my face! I uploaded my slides to Slideshare: https://www.slideshare.net/MarcAurelEvers/hackaday-unconference-dublin-2018

Kudos to RS Designspark as well for sponsoring (and the cool new app)!

"bring any adapters you need for the projection system"

Do you know what kind of inputs does the projection system has? I'm suffering from an aging laptop and don't really want to be embarrassed if I show up with the ability to plug into only SCART projectors.

Are you sure? yes | no

Hi. I intend to attend and present my neat little project https://fornellas.github.io/3d_printed_keyboard/. In the rush, I got tickets for both myself and my wife. Other than all her patience and support throughout this project, she's no hack to present, but would very much like to attend. Would that be OK for her to attend as just my companion? Thanks.

Hi @fabio.ornellas . I love this keyboard and can't wait to hear your talk.

Short answer is that of course your wife should come and is very welcome to listen and not talk.

Long answer: I suspect she has a thread of creativity similar to your own. She may not be building mechanical keyboards from scratch, but anything she's passionate about is fair game for a talk. (For instance, my wife doesn't built electronics but makes Bassoon reeds from scratch and has a wicked awesome set of vegetable gardening hacks -- both great Uncon talk topics). We won't have enough time for absolutely everyone to speak and we have a check box for 1-5 how much you want to give your talk today when you check in. Variety is very inspiring so don't be bashful.

Are you sure? yes | no
