Paradigm Shift of the Hardware Revolution

iHola Barcelona! We are excited to announce our very first Hardware Massive event in Barcelona, with featured speaker Cecilia Tham.

Cecilia is the founder & director of MOB – Makers of Barcelona, a collaborative community and facility for the innovative, creative, and entrepreneurial in Barcelona. She is also the founder of FabCafe Barcelona, a new concept coffee shop that combines an innovative use for digital fabrication tools such as laser cutters, 3D printers, and plotters, in an everyday environment such as the coffee shop. www.mob-barcelona.com

Cecilia’s talk will be about the current Hardware Revolution. She will discuss how low-cost technology and the open source/hardware movement is creating a paradigm shift that is allowing us individuals to innovate at a rate never before seen in history.

We’d like to thank our sponsor MOB for providing the venue.
