1. We are switching to an all-virtual summit for 2020.  We are coordinating with speakers to move all presentations to streaming online video.  You can expect a schedule similar to the one we have already announced, as well as a robust set of online chat options for the community to discuss the day’s events.
2. We also still plan on holding the pre-party happy hour the evening of March 12 for community members who are in NYC.  The happy hour is free to anyone who is able to attend. If you are in the area we look forward to seeing you there.  However, we do not recommend traveling to NYC just for the happy hour.  
3. We continue to offer full refunds on tickets to anyone who has purchased tickets to the Summit.  Contact info@oshwa.org for more details.
4. We will be sending full swag bags to all ticket holders.
5. Next year’s summit will be in NYC again on April 9, 2021. Mark your calendars!

While we are sorry to have to make this change, we are still excited about this year’s Summit.   We have a fantastic lineup of speakers and even more OSHWA announcements planned. While we know that many members of our community will be disappointed not to be able to see each other in person this year, we look forward to seeing all of you virtually on Friday and in person in 2021.

Thank you all again for being part of the open source hardware community! 

The party is on Thu, March 12, 2020, 6:00 PM – 9:00 PM EDT at 370 Jay Street, Brooklyn, NY 11201

The Open Hardware Summit (OHS) invites talk/demo proposals for the tenth annual summit! To be held on Friday, March 13,2020 at the New York University’s Law School (Tishman Auditorium) .

 The Open Hardware Summit is for presenting, discussing, and learning about open hardware of all kinds. The summit examines open hardware applications, practices, and theory, ranging from environmental sensors to 3D printable medical devices to open hardware processors and beyond. We are interested in open hardware on its own as well as in relation to topics such as software, design, business, law, and education. 

For our tenth edition we are especially looking for speakers who can share historical perspective on the past decade of open hardware movement, alongside speakers who will showcase projects demonstrating current trends, challenges, and future growth opportunities in the open hardware movement.

We invite talk proposals from individuals and groups. Kindly note that the updated deadline for talks submissions is now Sunday December 1st 2019. Accepted proposals will be notified by Friday, January 17^th 2020.
