Seems like a neat idea - Can you tell me more about how it would work on a detail level?

"Team Formation" is listed as one of the first scheduled activities, but you also say to apply with your team - Is this for making new teams, or working together in a cool space with your existing team, and maybe finding some cool people to help?

The idea of sessions seems really cool, and I'd love to see a HW startup conference, but this is also called a hackathon..?

What sort of things would we actually DO ? ;)

Basically, I love the idea of a get-together for HW startups, I just don't quite get it yet.

The Basics: We are designing hardware (schematics, pcb layout, even the software and mechanical drawings if that is what you want to build), and doing it in 12 hours.

You can apply as an individual or as a team. If you are in a team already, you can look for more members if you are interested. If you are an individual, we are going to help you find a group with similar interests.

What are we going to do? well there are some ideas started at http://ideation.upverter.com/. But the last hackathon we did we had some robotics, some devices that created and filtered white noise so you could have private conversation. the possibilities are endless.

This time we hope that the hackathon is just the beginning. we hope that the many of the things started (or continued) at the hackathon go on to be startups.

I hope this answers you questions.
