Hackaday Superconference 2019 Call for Proposals

1
Wondering what to submit? Check out the playlist of 2018's talks for what we accepted last year. You can view talk titles in the right sidebar so you don't need to watch every video (although they're all fantastic!).

We like to hear proposals that are about things we haven't heard before. For example, if you are proposing something that someone spoke about last year, we may not accept it.
If it's brand new and shiny, we'd love to hear about it. Click here for an example of a full proposal that was accepted in 2018.

Best of luck to you, we hope to hear about your project this year!
