More than an amazing event: the Summer event! We are talking about Fab11, the 11th Annual Meeting of the global Fab Lab Community which will return to the Boston area from August 3 to 9, 2015. The Meeting that features digital fabrication technologies, from laser cutting to 3D Printing, comprises The Fab Symposium Making : Impact, the Annual Conference of the International Fab Lab Network, and The FabFest, a 2-day public festival distributed throughout Boston, Cambridge and Somerville.
Conferences, hands-on fabrication workshops, talks, planning meetings, project demonstrations but also an incredibile opportunity for makers and all the people who want to join the “digital World” to get in touch, discover and innovate: this is Fab11.
The Fab Symposium Making : Impact
It will take place August 6th at Boston’s famed Symphony Hall. It is a one-day, public event that explores the principles, applications and implications of digital fabrication technologies. This year, the Symposium will be focused on the incredible makers who have emerged from fab labs and digital fabrication education over the last 12+ years, who have made significant social, economic and community impact in the World and who are inventing the future. At the end of the Conference, the public will have the chance to interact with the speakers coming from different cities and Countries.

The FabFest
Over the weekend of August 8 and 9 the cities of Boston, Cambridge and Somerville will come alive with a free public Festival. The main event of FabFest will be held at the Reggie Lewis Center in Boston, while a myriad of distributed events, produced by City Awake to celebrate Fab11, will happen throughout the region. The Fab Festival is a celebration of making, creativity and social impact on the World. The weekend includes exhibitions, demonstrations, cool performances, hands-on activities for the whole family, and talks and panels featuring great makers from the Boston area and beyond. For example, attendees at FabFest Boston will be able to see how designers from Barcelona can light up their clothes, try their hand at building a laser cutter, make insect robots with students from rural India, and have a 3D Model of their face 3D Printed.
