🤖 If you have your own hardware to demo, bring it!
During the Community Open Mic, you’ll have 2 minutes to jump on stage and show what you’re building. Demo a prototype, present a finished product, or bring part samples straight from your workbench.
It’s also your moment to ask for help, shout out open roles at your company, or let the room know you’re looking for your next opportunity. This is where real connections start.
🤟 Thank you to our community partners!
A huge thank you to Tech Europe Foundation (TEF) and PoliHub for making this second Milan Hardware Meetup possible by opening the doors to their incredible facilities.
