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.
