A photo of a type writer with the local first sigil in the paper, a notebook that says Lab Day, hosted by Ink & Switch, with an automerge sticker sheet. There is a clipboard saying Coffee Science and a coffee cup.

Lab Day will not be purely filled with talks - but also show live demos, creative experiments, and community projects.

A collaborative day that’s part unconference, part showcase, and shaped by the ideas that animate our community.

Lab Day is included in your ticket localfirstconf.com
