20 Years of Maker Faire (Sunday Assembly East Bay)

Submitted by the Event Organizer

Maker Faire Founder Dale Dougherty will share how he put into practice “If you imagine it, you can make it” to make a huge event beloved in the Bay Area and beyond for the past two decades. The first Maker Faire in 2006 at the San Mateo Expo Center brought an explosion of art, craft, engineering, fashion, green design, music, technology, and so much more to the Bay Area. Over the next decade or so, the event expanded to more than 200 licensed Maker Faires in more than 40 countries, and many more smaller events at schools. SAEB President and Maker Faire Crew alumna Michelle Hlubinka exhibited at that Maker Faire 2006 and joined its crew the next spring. She’ll be in conversation with some of the key players who made the event—and a whole movement!—happen.
