Take part in the 12nd edition of Maker Faire Rome 2024, the event that facilitates and talks about innovation, bringing people and ideas together through a physical and virtual ecosystem to connect innovation enthusiasts and involve them with learning paths, training, co-planning and match-making.
Maker Faire Rome is the ideal settings where knowledge, skills and experience come together to give shape to real projects.
Since inception ten years ago, Maker Faire Rome has turned the spotlight on excellence in technology and innovation, involving projects from state universities and public research institutes, both domestic and international.
The Exhibition Event will take place from 25th to 27th October 2024 in the suggestive area of the Ostiense Gasometer.
Conferences, workshops, webinars and other training and information events will be held mainly digitally – also on dates other than those scheduled for the event – since Maker Faire Rome is preceded and followed by a series of events and initiatives that span beyond the three-day event.
