Physical Product Development Networking Breakfast @ CES2026

​Start CES 2026 with people who actually get what you do.

​Brooks Stevens and Why Design are hosting a small, invite only breakfast for hardware leaders at a classic diner a short ride from the convention center. No stage, no slide decks, no vendor pitches. Just strong coffee, proper American breakfast, and candid conversation with peers who are in the same trenches.

​We are curating the room for hardware founders, product and design leaders, senior engineers and ICs who influence what ships next. The goal is simple: compare notes on what is really working, trade war stories from the floor, and leave with a few high signal connections you will still care about once CES is a distant blur.

​Breakfast is hosted by us, your only job is to show up on time, be generous with your insight, and be open to meeting people outside your usual circle. Space is intentionally tight, around 20 to 25 guests, so RSVPs will be reviewed to keep the mix balanced.

​If you are serious about hardware in 2026 and want conversations that go deeper than small talk at a booth, this is where you start your day.
