Our first event outside of Auckland, Hardware Meetup NZ: Hardware in Christchurch, was a hit. 🎉🥳 We had 70 people in the hardware ecosystem attend the event in person in Christchurch, as well as another 7 people who attended a watch party in Queenstown, and a number of others who joined online. We got to hear from some amazing speakers: Brendon Hale from Basis, Jason Orchard from Evnex and Daniel Milligan from Syft Technologies. Thanks to our sponsors: GPC Electronics, Outset Ventures, Intranel and Dassault Systèmes. Check out the video and photos on the event page below. Looking forward to hosting a number of exciting events in the new year - watch this space!

Due to overseas travel commitments, Stefan from Dawn Aerospace is no longer able to present at the Christchurch event. However, we have a new speaker to announce 🥁🥁🥁 Daniel Milligan from Syft Technologies ⚡ Daniel is the CTO of Syft Technologies and started his career as a kineticist. His PhD was studying ion-molecule chemistry and SIFT-MS with Professor McEwan, after which he did a post-doctoral fellowship at Cal Tech / NASA / JPL in Pasadena, California. He returned to SIFT-MS and Syft via a University of Canterbury postdoctoral fellowship in 2003. Daniel's interests have always centered around instrumentation and he now heads the Development and Engineering efforts of Syft. His path to this role has not always been direct, however, going by way of applications development, support, and a stint as VP of Technology for Syft in Cleveland, Ohio.

Introducing our third speaker for the upcoming Hardware Meetup NZ: Hardware in Christchurch event 🥁🥁🥁 - Jason Orchard from Evnex ⚡ Jason Orchard is the Head of Engineering at Evnex. He is passionate about product development, enjoys working with teams that are dedicated to solving challenging problems, and thrives on seeing the positive impact their hard work has on communities. His interest in technology began at a young age, always eager to discover how things work under the hood.
