Does your exhibit require power?*

Yes

What are you powering?*

Understanding your power usage is important. We need to ensure you have what you need and you will not create a problem for your fellow Makers by tripping the circuit breaker. Most consumer electronic devices have a small label that will tell you how many watts or amps they draw and at what voltage.

Electrical: Power is expensive! We want to provide enough, but not too much.

Please bring your own extension cords, surge protectors and/or power strips for power distribution at your exhibit. On-site power requests cannot be guaranteed. Any excessive power will require approval.

Voltage: In North America, normal house and building power is 120 volts. (Large machinery may require 220 volts. If you need a 220v, tell us what phase you need.)
Amperage: After you determine the voltage you require (see above), we need to know how many amps you will be using at that voltage. If an item only lists watts and not amps, you can quickly convert watts to amps by dividing the watts by volts (Watts / Volts = Amps.)
Examples: A 500-watt light bulb requires approximately a 4.2A (A=amps) on a 120V (normal US) circuit: 500/120= 4.2. Here’s a list of average amperage for common Maker Faire items:

Laptop ~2A
Sewing Machine ~0.6A
Lights ~0.3A-2A
3D Printer ~10-20A
Arduino ~0.1A.

How much power do you require?*

To find the total amperage you require, find the amperage listed on the back of each piece of equipment you plan to use onsite. Then, add up the amps and round up to the closest amperage below. Please check your equipment, and don’t guess. We thank you in advance.

05 amps (0-500 watts, 120V)

10 amps (501-1000 watts, 120V)

15 amps (1001-1500 watts, 120V)

20 amps (1501-2000 watts, 120V)

Other. Power request specified in the Special Power Requirements box

Please use the Special Power Requirements field below to specify your power requirements.

Special Power Requirements.

Please provide the required voltage, total amperage, number of circuits if applicable, if a single phase or 3 phase circuit is required, and any additional details.

Please upload a picture of your plug.

This is not required but helpful for 220V and non-standard power requirements.

Max. file size: 256 MB.

Does your exhibit use or disrupt radio frequencies?

Yes

Describe additional details of your RF use.

My exhibit uses: (check all that apply)

Will you be giving away, selling, or sampling food (packaged or unpackaged) at Maker Faire?*

Yes

Describe what type of food and any details.

Including food in your exhibit may require a Health or Food Handler’s Permit and associated fee. Details will be emailed to you after acceptance.

Do you have any additional special requests?

Select Yes if: your exhibit needs access to water to run, requires heavy equipment for set up, you will need truck or trailer storage during the event, other needs not addressed by previous questions.

Yes

Special Requests

Please list any special requests that were not addressed in the previous questions. Special requests are not guaranteed by acceptance. You will receive confirmation in advance of the faire.

Safety

Does your exhibit contain fire (any size flame), chemicals, or other dangerous materials or tools (propane, welders, etc)?*

Yes

Do you have an interactive exhibit including using tools of any kind, riding (bikes, go carts, swings, etc), climbing, etc?*

Yes

Describe any safety and/or fire issues.

If accepted, your exhibit will require a General Safety Plan. The General Safety Plan form link is located in your Tasks list.

If accepted, your exhibit will require a Fire Safety Plan. The Fire Safety Plan form link is located in your Tasks list.

Pack In, Pack Out & Leave No Trace

At Maker Faire, we’re striving to reduce our waste through our Pack In, Pack Out, Leave No Trace Sustainability Principles. Thank you for joining our efforts.

Will your exhibit produce any waste?*

Waste is anything you expect to dispose of during setup, showtime or load out at Maker Faire, such as recyclables, compostables, garbage, reuseable/donatable items, and water.

Yes

Please describe what waste you expect to produce, including when, what and how much. Also, do you have a plan for sustainably disposing of this waste or need assistance creating one?

At Maker Faire we provide compost, recycling, plastic film wrap recycling, and garbage bins.

For special hazardous waste or items for donation: Upon acceptance, please work with our Sustainability Team to create a plan.

At Maker Faire, all makers are responsible for separating their waste into proper disposal bins.
