Maker Faire has always been about the maker community. The individuals who organize the Faire and who spend countless hours organizing all the difficult lagistics of the event, do it because they love Makers. In our efforts to keep evolving Maker Faire and making it better at every opportunity, we’ve decided to add an advisory board comprised of members of the community. This group lends their input in order to keep Maker Faire a fun, diverse, and fresh event that will always feel like it is by makers, for makers.
It is an honor to introduce the advisory board we’ve put together for World Maker Faire, coming up in September.
