On November 17, 2025, M5Stack once again hosted its annual Open Day, welcoming global users and enthusiasts. This year’s event reached a new milestone, bringing together more than 80 participants from 11 countries to explore the world of M5Stack innovation—where people build, share, and connect.
Over the course of the afternoon, guests explored our all-in-one facility, exchanged ideas face-to-face, and discovered what’s next in the M5Stack ecosystem.
Factory & Office Tour: From idea to device
M5Stack operates an all-in-one facility where product design, production, packaging, quality control and shipping are all managed under one roof. Open Day offered visitors a rare opportunity to see this entire workflow in action.
Guests were divided into three language groups—Chinese, English, and Japanese. Guided by our team, participants followed the full journey of M5Stack products, from design and production to testing and warehousing, gaining a deeper understanding of how each idea becomes a finished piece of hardware.
Highlights Session: New products, new tools, new recognition
After the tour, the meetup session brought everyone together.
Jimmy opened with a brief look back at M5Stack’s story—how a small modular hardware idea grew into a global developer platform—and shared key milestones achieved over the years.
The session then moved into a series of exciting highlights:
- The debut introduction of the new Arduino Nesso N1 by Julian Caro Linares from Arduino
- The latest updates on UiFlow2 and its expanding ecosystem
- Recaps from Maker Faire Tokyo and Maker Faire Rome
- M5Stack being honored with the 2025 Good Design Award
User Lightning Talks: Global creators on stage
This year’s Open Day also featured a strong lineup of international speakers. Contributors from China, Japan, Indonesia, and other regions presented projects spanning education, AI, robotics, digital tools, and more.
The session showcased both award-winning professional works and small yet inspiring experiments from individual creators. Each presentation ignited new ideas, and every round of applause reflected the community’s appreciation for creativity and innovation.
