OHS2025 Wrap Up

Sid Drmay

A little over a month ago we wrapped the 15th Open Hardware Summit in Edinburgh, Scotland!

Thank you so so much to you all for showing up in Edinburgh, tuning in online and making the Summit what it is. We are so very lucky to have a community full of kind, smart, compassionate individuals who make this whole thing so wonderful. A huge shout out to our volunteers. We could not do this without them, here we are pictured with as many we could wrangle in a moment for a photo. Thank you thank you thank you. If you are looking to catch up on talks and panels AV champion for life Michael Weinberg has already gotten videos up on YouTube!

A few stats for our numbers fans! We had: This year, we had 92 Presenters, 10 volunteers, 3 staff, and over 297 attendees (plus virtual attendees). We were able to record all the panels, talks and lightning talks.

Our youngest attendee was only a few months old, and our oldest can sleep well knowing we won’t reveal their age.

We had attendees from: Edinburgh, Blackburn, Longmont, Glasgow, Brooklyn, Berlin, Oakland, LA, London, Copenhagen, Paris, Panama City, Montreal, Milan, Boulder, Amsterdam and many, many more cities across the world!

Thank you once again for coming out. You are all the best and our hearts are full from spending time with you.
