Hardware innovators, makers, and founders invited to celebrate creativity and collaboration during CES 2026
LAS VEGAS, NV / ACCESS Newswire / December 17, 2025 / Forget the stuffy conference rooms and corporate meet-and-greets. Tomorrow Lab® is co-hosting a party that actually sounds fun.
On January 6, 2026, during CES week, Tomorrow Lab® will co-host "An Informal Party to Rock CES", a hardware community celebration at The Punk Rock Museum that's designed to feel less like networking and more like hanging out with people who actually get it.
Organized by Informal and co-hosted with partners including OnShape, the event will bring together founders, engineers, creative technologists, and makers for an evening of genuine connection, live hardware demos, and the kind of conversations that lead to real collaborations.
"Building great hardware requires the same creativity and boldness that defines punk rock," said a Tomorrow Lab® representative. "We want to co-host a space where the people who love to build things can come together, share ideas, and celebrate what we do, without the typical conference vibe."
Why The Punk Rock Museum?
The venue choice is intentional. The Punk Rock Museum embodies the independent spirit and creative rebellion that drives the best hardware innovation. Guests will have private access to the entire space, including:
The full museum exhibit
A dedicated bar
An outdoor area featuring food trucks, live robots, and hands-on hardware demonstrations
Room to actually talk to people without shouting over a crowd
It's the kind of setting that encourages real interaction, where you might find yourself discussing PCB design next to a display of vintage punk memorabilia, or sketching out a product idea on a napkin while watching a robot demo outside.
More Than Just Another CES Event
CES is one of the world's largest annual technology gatherings, but it can feel overwhelming and transactional. Tomorrow Lab® sees this event as something different: a chance to slow down, connect authentically, and remember why everyone got into hardware in the first place.
"The best collaborations don't start in conference halls," the company notes. "They start in moments like these-casual conversations that spark ideas, introductions that turn into partnerships, connections that last long after CES ends."
The guest list includes hardware studios, makers, and industry partners from around the world, along with members of the Hardware Meetup community. The focus is on quality over quantity and meaningful connections rather than massive crowds.
Tomorrow Lab® at CES 2026
Beyond the party, Tomorrow Lab® will be active throughout CES week (January 6-9), meeting with suppliers, vendors, and potential clients. The team plans to explore emerging trends in connectivity, sensors, and sustainable manufacturing, while also showcasing new work from its "Potentially Genius®" YouTube series sponsored by DigiKey.
Often known as the "Hardware Dream Team," Tomorrow Lab® combines engineering, design, and innovation to help companies bring ambitious ideas to life. From startups building their first prototype to global brands launching breakthrough products, the studio has built a reputation for making the impossible tangible.
CES is where Tomorrow Lab® connects with the community that makes it all possible-the builders, the dreamers, the engineers who turn sketches into reality.
And this year, they're celebrating that community the right way: with good people, great conversations, and a venue that understands what it means to challenge the status quo.
