From 0 to 100,000 Devices: Real Stories Behind Shipping Hardware

We're excited to bring together builders, engineers, and product leaders for a conversation about what it actually takes to ship hardware at scale.

Going from one working prototype to 100,000 units in the field means navigating architecture decisions — what should live on the device, at the edge, or in the cloud — manufacturing, supply chain, and the pitfalls most hardware teams hit along the way, especially now that AI is built into almost every connected product.

Hosted by Acorn Product Development, Nordic Semiconductor, Intent and Seacomp, we'll bring together people who've actually shipped intelligent physical products at scale for a practical, no-fluff conversation about what's possible now, what's changing fast, and what teams should be preparing for next.

Agenda 5:30 PM — Doors open, drinks & food 6:30 PM — Panel: From 0 to 100,000 Devices: Real Stories Behind Shipping Hardware 7:30 PM — Food & drinks continue, AI demos & networking 9:00 PM — Doors close

Come for the war stories. Stay for the food, demos, and the people building what's next.

Location: TIAT (The Intersection of Art and Technology) https://tiat.place 151 powell st. SF
