2016 BodyHacking Con in Austin, TX
Hello all!
If you haven't heard already, we're starting an event in Austin, TX next February called BodyHacking Con or BDYHAX for short. I've already been talking to a handful of you about this personally. BDYHAX is about taking the hacker/maker methodology to our bodies. Treating the body as a system, understanding it, and making it do what you want. So, wearable tech to enhance your senses or track your data, nootropics, brain training, cybernetics and prosthetics, body modification (with a very inclusive definition, so, counting orthodontics, corsetry, and plastic surgery) and tons of other stuff.
You can check out our speaker list on our website at www.bodyhackingcon.com. More folks, including ones you should definitely recognize, are coming as I finalize agreements with them. If you think of anyone you'd love to see at an event like this, let me know. We may not be able to include them for the first year, but I've got a huge list of potentials for the future going.
There's also an expo portion that we're opening up to the general public at no cost, an interactive wearables concert on Friday and a party on Saturday night with a heavy "cyborg grey-market and secret dance club" vibe. If you work at a company related to this space that may be interested in participating, I'd love an introduction. We are looking for companies like Fitbit, Google, EnChroma, Ekso Bionics, as well as smaller nootropics sellers, DIY kit manufacturers, and 3d printing companies.
The first 400 general registration passes are $60. Registration is opening later this month and we'll be announcing it to our mailing list first.
Anyway, feel free to reach out to me here, or if you want to reach me more quickly you can email me at info[at]bodyhackingcon[dot]com.

Are you from Austin?
Will this be webcast?
That being said, badges are $60 and flights into town are not terribly expensive. Also, use the discount code GRINDERS for 25% off when you register at https://www.regonline.com/2016BDYHAX.
Please, share that with your friends. We could use some more registrations and support.
I've lost my voice from excited conversations.
