Pre-Faire Planning:

What to Bring:

    • Hat
    • Windbreaker
    • Something warm (the weather can get cool and breezy in the afternoon)
  • Technology
  • Misc.
    • Sunscreen
    • Reusable shopping bag to carry any purchases or projects that you make.
    • Business cards — to stay connected with all the awesome folks you’ll meet!

Transportation:

  • Whether you’re driving, taking BART/Caltrain, biking, or walking, take a look at our Getting to Maker Faire page to make sure you get here with as little hassle as possible.

When You Arrive:
