The Hardware Meetup community is excited to announce the first NY Hardware Meetup of 2024 & our 96th overall! Hardware Meetups happen across 20+ cities monthly & help bring together different professionals to connect & meet each other.
Come join us to hear from our guest speakers as well as share what's on your desk. We always have time for an open mic.
We have a great group of guest speakers

To help you make the most of the NY Hardware Meetup, we're trying a new program where we connect attendees who might benefit from meeting each other. We'll base this on what each of you are looking for & what your backgrounds are, which is what we're gathering in this form! If you're interested in participating in this trial run of the program, please fill this survey out before 12PM EST (noon) on Sunday, 02/04/2024.
If we find a useful connection for you, we will email an introduction between you & your new connection before the event. We'd encourage you to independently reach out to them to plan a rendezvous during the upcoming NY Hardware Meetup!
If you choose to participate, we will share another short survey after the event to hear your thoughts on the program, & how we might do better.
