Hard Reboot is unlike any other maker conference or festivals in North America. It’s a long weekend of camping, immersive entertainment, film screenings, workshops, and talks by the most inspiring people you’re ever likely to meet, all in three unforgettable days.

Those who don’t want to camp may attend with a day pass and still take in the talks and workshops.

Origins

Our camp credits inspiration to Electromagnetic Field, in the UK (EMF Camp). EMF Camp began in 2012 and has grown to be one of Europe’s top hacker/maker festivals. Check out their website, emfcamp.org, and get a feel for what Hard Reboot is aspiring to be. EMF Camp is an amazing experience.
