Noisebridge 10 Year Anniversary Exhibition and Ball

Noisebridge has existed as a community of hackers for 10 years and has been providing cyber infrastructure for 9 years! During that time we've been example of good (and not so good) ways to run a hackerspace, but we keep hacking on.

To celebrate, we're going to have a EXHIBITION Weekend packed with as much, of what we have learned and worked on together, as possible; and will accentuate it in the middle with a big TIME TRAVEL themed BALL.

You are invited!

You are invited to attend this Exhibition and Ball and celebrate with us. We’ll be setting up Noisebridge Hackerspace to display projects, have panels and presentations, share our stories, host classes and workshops, play games, play music, and party.

You can participate!

All are also encouraged to participate, educate, and volunteer to make this event even more special. Bring friends, bring your projects, bring your skills, bring your plans, bring ideas you want to share. Together, we will create an Exhibition that highlights and reminds ourselves of the value of this hackerspace, the local community of hackers that make it work, and how excellent it is to be able to share it with so many. Together, we will reflect on what was accomplished at Noisebridge during this time, what did or didn't go as planned, analyze what we’ve learned from this experiment, and see what things people have been working on. Together, we will look into the past and toward the future.

You can help!
