+
+As a general guideline, the content at our conferences and meetups follows an 80/20 split:  
+
+1. **80% Craft of Programming**  
+   The majority of content focuses on becoming a better programmer. This includes engineering talks, lectures and cool demos. While most of it caters to seniors, we’ll always carve out a reasonable space to welcome juniors to the Handmade ethos.  
+
+2. **20% Economic Well-Being**  
+   The remaining content is on improving the programmer’s financial prospects. Topics include marketing yourself as an indie dev, practicing social skills, advocating for your rights as a tech worker, and even safeguarding your own health—because unexpected medical emergencies can devastate anyone’s finances, especially in America.  
+
+Future conferences will clearly label which presentations fall into which category of the 80/20 split, so audience members can skip what doesn’t interest them. We also encourage civil yet vigorous disagreements during Q&A sessions.

+
+Handmade Cities hosts two major tech conferences each year: [Handmade Boston](/boston) (HMB) in the summer and [Handmade Seattle](/seattle) (HMS) in the fall. 
+
+Early-bird ticket sales typically start sometime in the spring. Subscribe to the [newsletter](/news) to stay updated.
+
+#### Summer - Handmade Boston  
+
+- **The Sister Conference to Seattle**  
+  HMB is a smaller, more intimate event focused on what Abner calls “long-ass technical lectures.” It's the fully-offline counterpart to Seattle: there is no online track. Only in-person tickets are sold.
+- **Return to Form**  
+  Starting in 2025 we’re going back to the exact format of the first HMB conference (sans homework) which was the most well-received. We are recreating the old-school lecturing environment.
+
+HMB lectures are typically 90–120 minutes long. They're informal sessions with room for tangents and audience interaction. Think of Martin Mozeiko’s [legendary](/media/boston-2023/errors-and-compilers) HMB recording on compiler errors/warnings—raw, unpolished, but deeply impactful. It’s still referenced by the community today and strongly influenced Abner’s programming habits; he’s now obsessed with arena poisoning!
+
+**Next Handmade Boston:** August 1–2, 2025 (Fri–Sat)  
+
+#### Fall - Handmade Seattle  
+
+- **Our Flagship Conference**  
+  HMS is the largest event featuring a trade show, job fair, and a fully-hybrid experience with both physical and online tracks.  
+- **Professionally Live-Streamed**  
+  Thanks to our [technical producer](/about) HMS is 100% professionally live-streamed.  
+
+HMS is packed with shorter, polished talks and demos. While it’s less of a deep dive than HMB it does reach a broader audience. (Presenters can still tackle technical subjects, but they’ll have less time to do so.) A community favorite is Andreas’ Context is Everything:

+
+HMS often explores bigger questions that plague the Handmade community. For example, we asked the head of [Ink & Switch](https://inkandswitch.com) why the industry struggles to create simple software. His response led to a masterclass in software complexity:

+**Next Handmade Seattle:** December 5–7, 2025 (Fri–Sun)

+
+**meetup.com but handmade**
+
+We’re building a self-hosted [alternative](https://handmadecities.com/meetups) to meetup.com, though it’s still in its early stages.  
+
+Right now, our meetup hosts use a command-line app developed by Abner and the wider community: *Meetup Invite 2000*. It’s user-friendly, packed with features, and generally works like this: you feed it a Markdown file, and it sends out a polished email to all meetup subscribers.
+
+When someone subscribes to notifications on the [Meetup](/meetups) page, the host for that city automatically sees it in their command-line tool. Hosts can also export their mailing list whenever; if they decide to part ways with Handmade Cities they can take their current audience with them.
+
+In the future, we plan to build a web dashboard to complement Meetup Invite 2000 (we already have a basic prototype.) For now, we’ve lucked out because our meetup hosts know their way around terminals. Which leads us to one final observation.
+
+In early 2025 Abner launched the closed beta for Terminal Click (see [Appendix](/operation2030/appendix/terminal-click) for why it's relevant). Around that same time we started meetups in Tokyo, Japan—a milestone that’s been a long time coming. It was very rewarding to see the our host, Migue-san, use a terminal emulator written by us to invoke Meetup Invite 2000 also written by us:

+Dogfooding what we preach is essential to achieve [Self-Hosting for All](/operation2030/directives/self-hosting-for-all).
