​Hardware is hard, as they say…

​Join us for an engaging discussion about hardware and everything that makes it hard and what we can do about it with a panel of esteemed hardware founders in the Waterloo region. Topics covered include product development, design, launches, funding, tariffs, compliance, and more.

​Our event takes place at the Sienci Labs HQ’s warehouse, hence the name “Between the Racks”. Experience the space where hardware innovation happens on a daily basis.
