handmade cities
Boston in the summer, seattle in the fall
We are the largest indie conferences for low-level programmers. This is your portal to meet with folks into graphics, game engines, kernels, compilers, and more!
Inspired by Handmade Hero
Like Handmade Hero by Molly Rocket we believe in breaking software down to the bare bones and building back an understanding of how it all really works. We are not affiliated with Molly Rocket, Inc.
Companies Value Handmade
Job Booths
Hiring Handmade people. These brands have attended our job fairs. Companies may rent a job booth but cannot influence nor sponsor the event.
Two Cities, Two UNIQUE EVENTs
Handmade Boston is the Masterclass Conference. Handmade Seattle is our Traditional Conference. Will you attend both?
independent
100% indie. We’re a small business that’s sponsor-free: speakers can criticize any software or company.
hybrid
Fully hybrid. We offer a physical track or an online track—your choice!
low-level
Dive deeper. The mission is to encourage a deep understanding of computers to build better software.
Hundreds in person, Thousands online
Every year hundreds of low-level programmers convene physically while thousands more watch from the comfort of their couch.
Big Online Community
Join the Discord to see what we’re all about.
Conferences Not Enough?
Make friends all year round. It’s Meetups.com, but Handmade.
