DigiKey's Sponsorship at Hackaday Superconference 2025

DigiKey, a leading name in the global distribution of electronic components and automation products, proudly announces its sponsorship of the upcoming 2025 Hackaday Superconference. This exciting event is scheduled to take place from October 31 to November 2 in the vibrant city of Pasadena, California. The Hackaday Superconference is renowned for bringing together tech enthusiasts, makers, and hardware hackers from around the world, fostering innovation and creativity within the maker community.

During this year’s conference, DigiKey aims to enhance the experience for attendees by providing a variety of essential components for hacking challenges. Participants can expect to see a selection of products ranging from LEDs and headers to resistors and capacitors—everything one might need to tackle unique projects associated with the conference's badge.

As part of its commitment to the maker community, DigiKey will also host a series of engaging workshops in collaboration with industry leaders. One of the highlights includes Shawn Hymel's workshop titled Introduction to Embedded Rust, where attendees will learn how to use Rust programming to develop firmware for various microcontroller projects. These workshops are designed to offer hands-on experience and practical knowledge, making them valuable for both beginners and seasoned enthusiasts.

David Sandys, the Senior Director of Technical Enablement Engagement at DigiKey, expressed excitement about the upcoming event: “DigiKey has been sponsoring Supercon for years to help support and grow the Hackaday community. We are excited for this year's Supercon and all the workshops, challenges, talks, and discoveries that will bring together some of the industry’s greatest engineers, makers, and innovators.”

Beyond just components and workshops, DigiKey’s team of experts will be available on-site to assist attendees. They can help participants select the right parts for their projects and provide answers to any technical inquiries, ensuring that each attendee has the support they need to succeed during the event.

The Hackaday Superconference promises three days filled with hacking, learning, and network-building opportunities. Attendees will have the chance to connect with like-minded individuals, share ideas, and potentially collaborate on projects, all within the dynamic environment provided by Supplyframe's DesignLab. This year's conference badge, which will be unveiled on the first day, is also expected to spark creativity and exploration among participants.
