In 2025, Hackforge hosted 62 events with 915+ participants, thanks to 19 different presenters. This year we Game Jammed, we field mapped, we built AI agents, remembered the golden age of DOS, Installed Linux (RIP Windows 10), demystified the magic of CDN, and we met a whole lot of friends along the way!
A huge thank you to all of you who presented, participated, donated, and made our community what it is. Without you, Hackforge wouldn't be the awesome hub for tech enthusiasts it is today.
Three cheers for 2025, and here's looking forward to an absolutely epic 2026!#NYEWindsor #WindsorTechCommunity #YQGTech #WindsorEvents #TechCommunity
