Peter speaking September 25th @ emTech '08 in Boston

September 18th, 2008

If you're out and about in Boston next week stop by emTech to see Bug Labs CEO Peter Semmelhack speak about Open-Source Hardware. He'll be joined by Eric von Hippel, Professor and Head of the Innovation and Entrepreneurship Group at MIT's Sloan School of Management and Eric J. Wilhelm, the Founder and CEO of Instructables.

Here's a sample of what they'll be talking about:
Do-it-yourself hacker magazines, websites, and meetings are multiplying. It's easier than ever to buy inexpensive, off-the-shelf hardware components, from touch screens and cameras to GPS receivers and microcontrollers. The combination adds up to a growing trend toward “open-source hardware,” spurring innovation in gadget design.

The conference takes place from September 23rd through September 25th at MIT. To find out more about Technology Review's emTech '08 conference follow this link.
