OHS 2025 will take place in Edinburgh on May 30th & 31st, 2025! We have an incredible line up of speakers, talks, and workshops with more to come.
Since 2010, the Open Source Hardware Association, a 501(c)(3) not for profit charity, has hosted the Open Hardware Summit- a comprehensive conference for the open hardware community and the ever changing open source hardware movement.
Speakers include world renowned leaders from industry, academia, the arts and maker community. Talks cover a wide range of subjects from electronics, mechanics to related fields such as digital fabrication, fashion technology, self-quantification devices, and IP law. As a microcosm of the Open Source Hardware community, the Open Hardware Summit provides an annual, friendly forum for the community.
Our international event usually has around 300 attendees from around the world, you can find past schedules here, here, and here (and for the past 10+ years).
