Hardware Meet Up
The Hardware Meetup community is excited to kick off Detroit’s first meetup at the end of June! Hardware Meetups happen across 20+ cities monthly and help bring together different professionals to connect and meet each other.
Come join to hear from our guest speakers as well as share what’s on your desk. We always have time for open mic. We’ll be hosted by Bamboo (Royal Oak), a modern co-working space for doers and creators.
