​Bring what you're building

​Cascadia Builders Club is a Pacific Northwest community for people building hardware and software. This is show-and-tell for builders: In this meetup, a handful of local builders take the floor for short, hands-on demos of what they're actually making (startups, apps, hardware, side projects, tools), and then we hang out and meet the people behind the work. No pitch, no hype reels, just real things and the people making them.

​This is our first meetup. Come see what's being built around the north bank of the Columbia, ask questions, and find your people.

​Want to demo?
We're looking for builders to show what they're working on, hardware or software, shipped or half-built. Demos run about 10-15 minutes.

​Demos this month

​The formal lineup is being built (reach out to [email protected] if you would like to demo).

​Even if you would not like to be in the formal demo lineup, we encourage you to show up ready to share/show what apps and/or hardware you are hacking on.

For presentations, projector and screen is available. If your demo requires anything additional, connect with Sam and we will do our best to accommodate.
