We have to admit this is a surprise, not only to you, but also to us ?We are unveiling the plan of Maker Faire Shenzhen 2019 in this lovely late April, while we enjoy the green and blossom in this city!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Shenzhen Speed has earned itself a lot of good words because of the many legendary achievements brought by the fascinating speed in this city. Last year, it took us 20 days to put together a Featured Maker Faire in Shenzhen. However, the downside of the rush arrangement is that we did not leave much time for international community members to prepare for the trip to Shenzhen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So, this year we\u2019d like to take a more suitable pace instead. In this way, you can prepare for your trip in advance, no matter you\u2019d like to participate as an exhibitor, speaker, workshop instructor or visitor!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As Maker Faire Shenzhen has been recognized as an interface for the global community (especially for the hardware innovation communities) to China\u2019s abundant supply chain ecosystem, this year we\u2019d like to build a stronger tie between maker pros from all over the world and the local industries, with the theme of \u201cto the heart of community, to the cluster of industry<\/strong>\u201d!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
