Countdown to
Maker Faire Shenzhen 2023
15 days to go!
Nov. 11-12
Vanke Design Commune, Shenzhen
As one of the classic segments of the Maker Faire Shenzhen, the‘Maker Forum’ will kick off on November 11-12 at Lecture Hall, Area B, Vanke Design Commune.
The Maker Movement, which emerged in the early 21st century, has had a profound impact on individuals by promoting concepts such as innovation, autonomy, sharing, and collaboration. The widespread adoption of digital manufacturing, open-source hardware and software, and other tools has dismantled traditional barriers to innovation, enabling greater participation in the realms of creation and invention. This movement has gained global popularity, with some individuals abandoning the pursuit of innovation while others persist on the path of embracing it.
Under the theme “Where Are The Makers” this year’s forum at Maker Faire Shenzhen aims to explore the diverse development trends of the maker movement, sharing the future direction of makers and the potential for valuerealization. Furthermore, we also seek to highlight the innovators who continue to drive advancements in various industries. We aim to explore specific scenarios where the innovations have been implemented, examine how the makers navigate the challenges with emerging technologies, and showcase their efforts and stories in promoting digital transformation.
At this year’s Maker Forum, we have scheduled four sections over two days: ‘Through The Cycles,’ ‘Tech for Good,’ ‘Cyber Farms,’ and ‘Things w/ AI.’ For each of these sections, we have a strong lineup of renowned speakers who will share their insights and engage in discussions on these topics. Don’t miss this excellent opportunity to explore the world of innovation with us! (Registration details are available at the end of the post!)
Through the Cycles
Nov. 11 Sat. 9:00-12:00
In this session, we cordially invite partners who contribute to the advancement and development of the global maker movement to engage in comprehensive discussions centered around innovation, co-creation, and openness. Through the lenses of “open-source hardware, open community, innovation lab, digital fabrication, innovation incubator, and digital country,” our esteemed speakers will share their invaluable insights on the developmental trends within the maker movement, as well as explore the vast potential and opportunities for future pathways and value realization.
