DigiKey, the leading global electronic components and automation products distributor, is sponsoring the 2025 Hackaday Superconference, a global event that brings together hardware hackers, makers and tech enthusiasts running from Oct. 31- Nov. 2, in Pasadena, Calif. The company will provide products for hacking challenges, partner with industry leaders on workshops and have experts available for support.

“DigiKey has been sponsoring Supercon for years to help support and grow the Hackaday community," said David Sandys, senior director of technical enablement & engagement for DigiKey. “We are excited for this year’s Supercon and all the workshops, challenges, talks and discoveries that bring together some of the industry's greatest engineers, makers and innovators."

DigiKey experts will be on site to help attendees select parts for hacking challenges and answer technical questions. The company will also donate a selection of components, including LEDs, headers, resistors, capacitors and more. These parts will be perfect for use with this year's conference badge, which will be revealed on the morning of Oct. 31.

DigiKey will also partner with industry leaders and influencers to host interactive workshops that provide hands-on engagement with hardware, open-source projects and new technology.
