The National Maker Collective Conference, in partnership with OhioNet, is looking for presenters who embody our theme, Together We Make: Celebrating what unites us. We invite proposals from makerspace champions of all experience levels. This is an opportunity for first-time presenters OR seasoned researchers to share their ideas. We welcome sessions on all aspects of makerspace life. Success stories that made you proud. Research that changed your perspective. Hands-on workshops that get people creating. Lessons learned the hard way. Innovative programs. Community-building strategies. The nitty-gritty of daily operations. You get the idea!
Our goal is a conference that inspires new research, fosters new connections, starts new conversations, AND is lots of fun!
Choose from three session types (all 45 minutes in length):
Presentation
Panel Presentation
Hands-on workshop
Deadline: March 29th, 2026
