Meshtastic: Stay Connected Anywhere with Meshtastic, ESP32 & LoRa

Imagine a private, long-range messaging network that works without cell service, Wi-Fi, or satellites—that’s Meshtastic! Whether you're hiking in remote mountains, coordinating emergency response, or setting up off-grid communication, Meshtastic keeps you connected.

With low-power LoRa radios and open-source software, Meshtastic forms a self-healing, encrypted mesh network where every node extends the range, ensuring messages reach their destination.

Join us for a hands-on session where you’ll learn to set up your own Meshtastic node, connect to the mesh, and explore real-world use cases. See how ESP32, Raspberry Pi, and low-power microcontrollers bring this exciting technology to life!

No infrastructure? No problem. With Meshtastic, the network builds itself—wherever you are.

Jim McKeeth is brining multiple Meshtastic nodes and will give some people (depending on interest and attendance) an opportunity to connect and interact with that hardware and network.
