PASADENA, Calif., Sept. 13, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- Hackaday, the
most popular website read by engineers, makers, and inventors that
celebrates hardware and hardware hacks partners with DesignSpark,
the engineering community of RS Components (RS), to bring
Hackaday's first-ever conference to the United Kingdom.
This partnership marks the shared vision of Hackaday and RS of
bringing the hardware engineering world together to collaborate and
learn about the newest developments in the field.
The conference is structured in the "unconference" style,
where there is no set agenda and all participants are encouraged to
present their latest passion project. This unique format
encourages talks and collaboration on cutting-edge topics and
projects happening in the engineering and maker
world. Although Hackaday has held unconferences elsewhere in
the world, including Los Angeles,
Chicago, and San Francisco, the UK Unconference is the
first of its kind in Europe.
The Hackaday UK Unconference will convene on Saturday, 16
September from 13:00 to 21:00 at the Cultural Space at Canada Water
on the east side of London. Technologists and engineers across
the UK and Europe showed immense
interest in the event, which sold out within five hours of opening
up sales to the public. Although tickets have already sold
out, individuals who are interested in attending may join the
