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.

Maker Faire Shenzhen 2023

「 Maker Forum 」

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. This year, we have introduced a new session focused on "Cyber Farms" in our forum. This session aims to delve into the current usage, applications, and potential of digital technology within rural settings. By emphasizing this aspect, we hope to inspire more individuals to pursue continuous innovation, gain a deeper understanding of the value and significance of the Maker Movement, and foster its sustainable development.

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!)
