Who are we?
The most interesting work happens at the edges between fields. But the people doing that work are often separated by disciplines, institutions and networks. Physical I/O exists to bring them together.
Join our members of founders, builders, researchers, designers, artists, operators, investors, students, and curious high-agency people for an hour of ideas, expert perspectives, conversation, and community.
