2024 was a year of growth and learning, for informal and the greater hardware community. The positives (like our epic Hardware House Party at CES, internal process improvements, and community expansion) were offset by the rough hardware landscape and anxiety/anticipation for 2025.

But overall, this was a year of growth, and perhaps most importantly, it was the year we grew up as a company and community. That includes our two sibling projects, Hardware Meetup and Studio 45.

As we close out 2024 and look forward to 2025, we’re energized by all of the momentum and learnings from the previous year. We strengthened our collective foundation across all of our initiatives, all in service of building a thriving hardware ecosystem that will shape the future of technology.

We couldn’t have done it without our members, clients and community at large, so THANK YOU for believing in us and helping to support our mission. We hope you enjoy the end of year recap, we had fun writing it!
