Open Hardware Summit 2013

MIT

Thanks everyone for coming to this years Open Hardware Summit at MIT.

The flickr and twitter hashtag is #ohsummit. We will post the link to the archived footage once it is available.

Speakers include world renowned leaders from industry, academia, the arts and maker community. Talks cover a wide range of subjects from electronics, mechanics to related fields such as digital fabrication, fashion technology, self-quantification devices, and IP law. As a microcosm of the Open Source Hardware community, the Summit provides an annual friendly forum for the community. For over five years we have had an established fellowship which supports travel and admission for women and other minorities as well as hardship tickets for low income individuals. The Open Hardware Summit was founded in 2010 by Alicia Gibb and Ayah Bdeir with support from Peter Semmelhack and Bug Labs in its founding years. Read more about the history of the organization and feel free to contact us with any questions.

Since the 2013 Open Hardware Summit at MIT, Addie Wagenknecht has chaired the Summit and served on the board of the organization.
