Maker Faire Bay Area 2009
Kit Maker Panel: Maker-Made, Community-Sourced

Stage C , Sunday 1:00 PM - 2:00 PM

While most retail sectors have been in a nose dive, the burgeoning DIY marketplace has actually been growing. If you've ever contemplated turning your passion for making into a business, here's your chance to see what's hot and why, and where the new opportunities are. We've assembled an who's who lineup of indie kit makers, including Phil Torrone (adafruit), Ariel Churi (Sparkle Labs), Mitch Altman (Cornfield Electronics), Ken Murphy (Blinky Bugs), Anshul Samar (Elementeo), Dale Wheat (tiny Cylon), and Shawn Wallace (AS220).
