The Aerospace-themed evening at GridAKL was a hit. A showcase of New Zealand’s most exciting and up-and-coming aerospace companies. An event with the purpose of bringing together leading Kiwi hardware entrepreneurs, engineers and product designers.

This meetup was the biggest Hardware Meetup AKL event yet. A well deserved featured event for Techweek 2017. Blender is a proud series sponsor for Hardware Meetup AKL.
Great advice and stories were shared from the main speakers:
- Emeline Paat-Dahlstrom from International Space Consultants
- Mat Rowe from Dotterel Technologies
- Ian Rowe from Air New Zealand
- Naomi Altman from Rocket Lab
It’s always great to share an evening with Auckland’s top engineering and product development minds. As well as many up-and-coming hardware enthusiasts. Did you attend this last meetup? You can find the event images here.
