Our Makers make Makerfest... magnificent! (Try saying that three times fast.) We've had an incredible variety of over 300 individuals and organizations in the past four years who've shared their imaginations, products, missions, and activities, delighting and enlightening attendees in myriad ways. In our experience, the best way to get people to know about you is to engage them in doing what you do!
We keep a very open mind to what making is and are always interested in new ideas, but we only select those who a) are aligned with our vision and b) can develop a great maker activity to share. If you think that's you, apply below and let's talk!
As you read in our vision statement, JSMF is not a trade show or exhibit hall. For the first two years, our guidelines prevented such transactions from taking place at the fest, though of course literature could be shared that allowed attendees to contact makers for sales beyond the fest. However, based on "consumer feedback," we have grown more open to limited product sales, provided there is still a hands-on component within the maker concept. If you would like us to consider that, please let us know so we can discuss a plan.
It's been great talking to everyone live and we are very excited for the many old and new ideas being unveiled this year. An email was sent out on Friday October 4 with logistics for arrival, set up, and a site map/floor plan for October 12. Friday October 11 we'll send out individual emails with space assignments (match them to the map in the aforementioned email) and will be on site that afternoon from 2 to 5PM for any early birds interested. Otherwise, see you starting at 8AM Saturday!
The RWJBarnabas Health Arena and HS North are located at 1245 Old Freehold Road 08753.
