The Hardware Meetup community is excited to bring together hardware and design for the next Philly Hardware Meetup on October 12th as part of the 2023 DesignPhiladelphia Festival.
The event will feature a panel discussion with Philly-based designers who have a passion for designing physical products: Design Dogma – How Industrial Design has Shaped Hardware.
Hardware Meetups happen across 20+ cities monthly and help bring together professionals to connect and share best practices. Come to find your next collaborator and get inspired by some incredible design professionals over cold drinks and good pizza. As always, we’ll have an open mic session where you can share what’s on your desk.
We’ll be hosted by NextFab, a membership-based makerspace at the heart of Philly’s hardware community.
** Panel to be announced soon!
