Building on the momentum of Intentional Inclusion and the Power of the Network; from our first conferences, we aspire to Sustainability: Creating an Ecosystem that supports us all. We believe our collective talents, resources and backgrounds are the backbone of the Maker Movement and by working together, we are stronger and more able to create the systems that invite and support everyone within a community ecosystem. We accomplish this by curating an engaging conference that encourages attendees from all corners of the country to examine the strengths, possibilities, and needs of community ecosystem through facilitated breakout sessions, small-team working groups, open discussions, structured and unstructured networking opportunities, and dynamic keynote speakers.
We invite your organization’s partnership as we work together for the benefit of: strengthening our inclusive network of maker organizations, engaging our diverse maker network in deep and meaningful collaborative exchange, celebrating our continued success with current partners, and expanding the Maker network by welcoming new partnerships with extraordinary industries and organizations.

We would like to have breakfast at the Chattanooga Convention Center each morning of the conference to welcome attendees and encourage early arrival. Throughout the day, we would also like to have break stations with quick snacks and drinks (water, coffee, and/or juice) to provide important energy boost and mingling opportunities for attendees. Branding and recognition for each day’s breaks partner will be included in printed/online program, conference notifications and announcements, and on-site at food location.
Two official evening receptions, one Friday and one Saturday, will welcome attendees and provide more opportunities to build on the power of the Network (each with a different theme or focus). These events are key social networking mixers and will have high visibility in planning and program. Each of the receptions will be hosted by a top-tier sponsor, and co-hosted by a reception partner. Branding and recognition in printed/online program, conference notifications and announcements, and on-site at food location.
Bus & Train Routes Travel
3 at $6k (plus direct travel costs)
We are mapping out a series of “bus routes” for which we will charter a 55-passenger commercial bus to drive with pre-planned stops at hacker and maker spaces along the way. Passengers will be expected to pay a portion of the cost with a set portion of the seats will be reserved for those who otherwise would not be able to afford to attend the conference. Each bus will be labeled for the sponsoring organization and will be used during the weekend for help shuttling attendees between the convention center and the hotels or locations for receptions, etc. Additionally, branding and recognition in printed/online program, conference notifications and announcements, will be made to recognize the travel partners.
