May 10, 2012

Here at MAKE HQ, we're moments away from migrating south from Sebastopol, Calif.: initially to Palo Alto, for our first-ever conference, MAKE Hardware Innovation Workshop (May 15-16), then on to San Mateo for the mother of all DIY show-and-tells, Maker Faire Bay Area (May 19-20)! We hope to see you at one or both of these events. If you can't make it, we'll have plenty of ongoing coverage on makezine.com and makerfaire.com, and we'll be live streaming, too. See the respective sites for details and follow events as they unfold. Next chapter of the maker movement, here we come!
