Breaking - Zero Retries Digital Conference 2026 - October 16 in San Ramon, California
By Tina Stroh KD7WSF
Zero Retries Conference Manager

It is with great excitement that we are able to announce the 2026 Zero Retries Digital Conference (ZRDC) will be held on October 16,2026 in San Ramon, California.

The conference will follow the same format as last year in regard to schedule. Over the next few weeks and months, Steve will be putting together a panel of speakers who will offer presentations on the new and emerging technologies in amateur radio. In addition, Steve will offer a conspectus of ZRDC 2025 along with a synopsis of the projects that were featured at the conference.

Now that the major contracts have been signed, I will be building out the conference page and will announce when registration will be open. Given that this conference will be held in San Ramon, California where there is a higher concentration of tech hams, we expect the available tickets to sell out quickly. So when the announcement is made that registration is open, please don’t hesitate in purchasing a ticket.

In the meantime, if you have any questions, concerns or suggestions for the conference, please don’t hesitate to contact me directly at tina@zeroretries.net.

See you in October!
