The Global Hardware Meetup community and the Australian Creative Electronics Society (ACES) are excited to team up with Engineers Australia for our 10th Hardware Meetup in Sydney!
Come showcase, witness and chat all things hardware, robotics, deep tech, and startups.
Everyone is welcome!
A special thanks to Engineers Australia for the venue, and making the tickets free for ACES!
Tickets are free for all, but if you feel generous, your ticket contribution is greatly appreciated in helping run more hardware meetups here and around the world!
🤖 If you have your own hardware to demo, bring it!
You'll have 2 mins during the Community Open Mic to demo a prototype or talk about what you are working on. We're looking for prototypes, finished products, and part samples from the hardware on your desks.
We have a great group of guest speakers
- Brendan Hill, a Venture Partner at TEN13 and an active angel investor in Australia’s fastest-growing startups including HEO, Vexev, Alloy, Everlab, Heidi Health and Relevance AI. Brendan also hosts "The Oversubscribed Podcast", where he hangs out with 3 founders on each episode who are building hard things in Australia. He recently co-hosted Australia’s Largest Robotics Party alongside Alloy, Puralink, and Breaker, bringing together 164 founders and operators in a four-storey robotics terrace in Sydney.
- Cibby Pulikkaseril, the founder and CEO of Zabidou, a deep tech startup deploying laser-augmented machine vision into heavy manufacturing. His first startup, Baraja, invented a new type of LIDAR for use in self-driving cars and autonomous vehicles, and delivered LIDAR systems to companies around the world. He has many years of experience in R&D and product development in photonics and optics, and has published research in fiber-optics, sensing and optics design.
- Matt Crott, the Head of Product Engineering at Mako Aero, where he leads the team taking FlightFilm - a drag-reducing riblet film for commercial aircraft - from the lab to certified flight. A biomedical engineer by training, he previously co-founded ResusRight, a medtech startup developing a device to assist in neonatal resuscitation, and led engineering at photonics spinout Vital Photonics, developing photonics based remote sensing for applications from vital sign detection to multi-band synthetic aperture radar for agricultural and defence imaging.

(We can't exist without sponsors, and were originally getting help from HW Meetup or self-funded as a love letter to the Aussie tech scene, but ordering hundreds of pizza is a bit expensive!)
Thank you to our community partner!
