I wanted to share a flyer that has just came out advertising the 1st Annual Making Matters Summit. It is being organized by MakerspaceCT and it is the hope that The New England Maker Summit becomes an event that happens every year.
It is being held on Thursday, November 17th from 2:00-8:00 pm at The University of Hartford. I have been fortunate enough to be part of the planning committee and I am excited about the list of speakers--especially the founder of Make Media, Dale Dougherty.
The cost is only $35.00 if you register by October 17th. http://NEMakersummit.io
Feel free to print off and/or distribute this flyer far and wide! If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to reach out.
Have a great day!
