LayerOne 2026

Join our upcoming amateur radio testing session and take the first step into a hobby where you can build, experiment, and communicate anywhere. Sign up at THIS LINK! Testing takes place on Saturday, May 23, 2026 at 18:00 Pacific time in the Lockpicking Village.

You can get started in ham radio by passing a 35 question, multiple-choice exam to earn your Technician license. You can find the question pool, study guides and other study resources, equipment recommendations, and a bunch of experienced radio operators to chat with in the LayerOne Discord #radio channel. If you’re already licensed and looking to upgrade to a higher license class, we can handle that, too.

In other news, the LayerOne 2026 Call for Papers ends in two weeks on April 10th! Get more info on our Call for Papers page or submit directly. Speakers at LayerOne get free entry to the conference, a $200 honorarium, and the praise and acclaim of their peers. Submit a presentation now!

Not interested in speaking? That’s ok! Registration for the event is OPEN on our registration page. We do not offer discounts on early bird pricing, so get in while the discounts last! Prices go up as we get closer to the conference.

Looking for hotel accommodations? We get a special rate from the conference hotel that is available until May 1st. Book your hotel room now with this discount link.

Sincerely,
The LayerOne Staff
