In this rather unsual year, we are gearing up for an edition of Maker Faire Rome – The European Edition that will experiment with new forms of happening & meeting.

For this upcoming 2020 edition, scheduled december 10-13, Maker Faire Rome will take on a hybrid digital-physical (as and where possible) format. We are planning an extensive, multi-channel, physical and virtual event, and we want to build it together with you!

Call for Makers 2020

#MFR2020 Call for Makers is an opportunity to submit (deadline: october 15) your projects and innovative tech-oriented ideas and inventions, and be selected to take part and showcase them during Maker Faire Rome 2020, that will take place from 10 to 13 December on a digital platform.

Should you be selected, you’ll be allocated time slots for direct streaming and interaction with the audience, in which you can meet it, present your project, discuss your research, validate your product, exchange business information and network with others.

Propose your project by october 15!

 

Online? Onsite? Onlife!

You’ll be broadcasting comfortably from your home, from your workplace, from your garage or from wherever you want, without the need to physically come to Rome.

If you don’t have a convenient space to connect from, you’ll be able to find other makers like you who have an available space where you can group your projects together. Check the website every now and then: we’ll be publishing the list of spaces as they become available and you can see if there is one near you.

If you are a fablab, a makerspace or a maker with space available to offer to others like you, an availability form will be soon available for you to fill in.
