Join us for an exciting evening of technical talks, demos, and networking at Memfault's Firmware Happy Hour! This meetup is the perfect opportunity to connect with other Bay Area engineers in the industry and learn about the latest developments in the embedded space.

Hosted at the Sofar Ocean Technologies headquarters on the Embarcadero, we'll kick off the evening with some casual networking over free pizza and beer. Then we’ll dive into a variety of lightning talks and technical demonstrations, with plenty of time for audience Q&A.

Whether you're a seasoned engineer or just starting out in the field, come join us and connect with like-minded individuals. We can't wait to see you there!

We ask that attendees RSVP here so we have a headcount.
