The 2019 KiCon was held on April 26th and 27th in Chicago, IL, USA.
More than 250 attendees crowded into a sold-out hall at M-Hub in Chicago to learn and teach KiCad.
Speakers convered the basics of KiCad collaboration, design, layout and working with your fabricators.
Many PCB fabrication houses sponsored the event and sent representatives to meet their customers and share experiences in the circuit design industry.
The talks even delved deep into coding circuit design for reuse and topics that you could not hear anywhere else.
Between sessions, attendees browsed the display hall where vendors set up tables to show their tools and resources to help circuit designers with their jobs
