Maker Faire Shenzhen 2019: Registration for Maker Summit Forum is Open!

There are many reasons to visit Maker Faire Shenzhen.

Some come to take a look at the innovative applications of technology by global makers,
Some come to get involved and experience the fun of hands-on creation.
Some come to learn about the highlights of science and technology and the crossover collaborations by artists

But the greatest highlight of all is the Maker Summit Forum, which gathers experts in the maker ecosystem to share about the latest developments in the global innovator community.

This year, we have invited 20 sustainable development experts from around the world to the Maker Faire Shenzhen 2019 Forum to share their stories on how they practice sustainable development in their day-to-day lives.

1. Forum Theme:
   Sustainable development is becoming one of the mainstream values of our society. On the wider scale, the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development has been adopted by all UN members since 2015, with 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) at its core, while individuals, organizations, and corporations are also exploring paths for sustainable development in their respective scopes.
   This year's forum focuses on sustainability in different aspects related to the maker community. We invite speakers from different sectors, cultures, and professional backgrounds to share their projects, stories and insights in sustainable development. In this way, we hope to shed some light on the topic of sustainability to promote a broader understanding and one day lead to collective actions on sustainable development.
