Handmade Seattle is our flagship conference for low-level programmers worldwide: two days packed with short impactful talks, demos, and a trade show! The third day is for meetups across the city.

We're famously hybrid - attend in person at the iconic Seattle Center or join remotely from anywhere. All talks and demos are streamed professionally, along with a [private](https://chat.handmadecities.com) chat server for live Q&A.
