We know the current crisis has impacted many of us financially.

We’ve updated and reduced our earlier convening registration rates, slashing our ticket prices by 50%. We know this may not be enough, and so it has been our policy since our first NOMCON convening to have Pay What You Can pricing. If the listed cost of the ticket is a hardship to you, simply fill out our Pay What You Can form and let us know what you feel comfortable paying (and if that number is zero, that’s ok too). All hardship applications are kept codnfidential.

Makers have been leading some amazing initiatives, and now it’s time to share best practices, learn from one another, and support the sustainability of our ecosystem. So tell your maker leader friends, far and wide – we’re throwing a big maker convening starting on June 3rd, and you won’t want to miss it! Hope to see you there!
