Here is a personalized Nostr recap of TABConf 6 here.
I really do believe we made another historical event as a top 20 bitcoin conference of all time. No price discussion. No political discussion besides a bit of freerossing. Big focus on tech and steps towards progress. We experimented with some really cool ideas that worked out this year which we will be expanding on next year. Some examples were an emphasis on hardware, rotating debate panels, and rapid explainer game show.
Really looking forward to having TABConf also have a minor focus on meshtastic and doing long range mesh networking. Perhaps we will even connect nostr:npub1cst99sheckxrllnh9pw093mls775tdx80x99mq096pkl2t9r9swqsugekj to nostr:npub1theparkprcs70dcs437ke9zzwsr6u60f8flu7rg28m30438aep9sd94dha in the future.
The first ever TAB awards (Tabbies) happened this year. I think for a first pass it went pretty well.
Looking forward to having more Nostr involvement next year, perhaps people reading this may feel inclined to run a Nostr specific room or do an entire Nostr day at the same venue next year. Let me know if you want to plan this!
I believe TABConf is the only truly open source conference that is organized, and I hope we can keep expanding and improving the uX to make people feel comfortable getting involved.
We are selling tickets for next years conference already (Oct 13-16, 2025) mark your calendars. Tickets are all inclusive, there is no class of tickets and you aren't marked like cattle with an unremovable wristband.
Hope you consider coming out and building next year with us.
If you feel like you aren't technical enough, you are missing the point. There is something at nostr:npub17yqgpat6e6ensd78jqhj4c3ef03uq04uqu3z05rhjnlk67lwm8wq9w5269 for everyone.

Tabconf6 was my first bitcoin conference. Even though I'm not super technical - I absolutely enjoyed the conference. There was something for everyone. I'm coming back next year for sure - everything you shared was spot on from my perspective. Learning about the innovation happening in the space, and the passion from those building solutions was really inspiring for me who is primarily focused on the economic side of bitcoin.. See you next year.
I was sitting at home thinking about Bitcoin, remembered TABconf was starting the next day, bought my ticket with Lightning, showed up with zero plan and still had a great time. I walked in to a great crowd of people who were interested in the same things I was. There was even a table of the Meshtastic radios I had just set up at home! I regret not planning well in advance, and look forward to future TABs.
Maybe we can get some LoRa nodes around Manchester, TN, or a couple of long hops. I already see Oak Ridge a few hops from north Atlanta!
Request:
If anyone has more pics/videos of #meshtastic at the #tabconf or a video of the meshtastic talk, please post it on Nostr with hashtags.
I will repost & zap them when I see them.
Thanks.
Concur. Best conference yet.

The KN95 is for? If you’re soldering wouldn’t that need an organic vapor mask (sorry, not trying to be a smarty pants)
