Maker Toolkit

Get the Most Out of Your Maker Faire

This Maker Toolkit helps you navigate the logistics of Maker Faire so your participation is a positive, memorable event. Together we can make Maker Faire a truly unique, educational, safe and extraordinary experience for all.

If your application is accepted, you will be receiving Maker Newsletters in your inbox with important updates and key dates. Be on the lookout for these newsletters and emails from makers@makerfaire.com

Use your Maker Faire Portal to make any needed updates to your entry and to access needed resources.

We update this toolkit frequently. The Getting Ready and Forms and Resources pages to help you prepare your exhibit have now been updated. Significant updates will be made Mid April regarding on site logistics.
