Hardware Meetup NZ Nerd night
About this event
Join Hardware Meetup NZ on 27 August 2025 for a relaxed evening at Outset Ventures in Parnell, where anyone can share a project that they have been working on(or just come for the pizza and inspiration)
This event is all about celebrating creativity, experimentation and nerdy side projects, inspired by previous attendee sharing their circuit board on stage, we’re opening the floor to you.
Presentations are short (1-5 mins), casual and fun. Projects can be hardware,software or something in between. This is your chance to show off what you’ve made, what you’ve broken or what you still are trying to figure out!

Our events are designed to bring together a wide range of the community, from startup founders and execs, to subject-matter experts, investors, students and general startup enthusiasts not only in Auckland but from all around NZ.
