''Create a Showcase of Creative Work: ''Establish a core group dedicated to curating the event. Curators need to locate creative work in the community and find ways to showcase that at the Maker Faire. Make it a goal to make visible those ideas and projects people are doing in the community that often are not seen or heard. Find makers who are forward-thinking and are exploring new technologies.

''Offer Engaging, Hands-on Interaction: ''Make the Maker Faire fun for everyone by providing interactive and educational displays. Make this event about participation and sharing and reward makers and onlookers for their sense of curiosity. Try new things, learn how things work, explore why they work, discuss the processes behind making things work, and make it a goal to inspire everyone at the Maker Faire by understanding that we can expand our capabilities.
2. Host Organization: Any scale Maker Faire will need a host or parnter organization. Examples that may bring value include marketing and promotion, payment processing, receiver of money from grants or scholarships, pool of volunteers, access to existing relationships in the community, or groups with relevant experience from hosting events. These organizations can all help the Maker Faire to prosper, but should still allow the event to remain inclusive.

3. Location: As the frame of the event, location is important. Explore options such as indoor and outdoor space with accessible restrooms and sufficient parking. There may be permits required. Also look at convenient access for families and safe surroundings, load-in access for trucks, electricity and internet, and protection in case the weather does not permit.
Some risk factors to consider include weather. Carefully plan and estimate a budget. Devote a core team to tracking costs.

''Events should continue to grow and develop maker culture.''
''[[File:Bay Area Maker Faire.png|link=https://makerfaire.com/bay-area/]]'' == Round up the Materials= Applying for a licence:<br/> === Before you can officially create a Maker Faire event, you need to apply for a license. The First step to applying is to fill out the online application on the Maker Faire website, which includes questions about yourself and your experience handling organization and events, as well as your intentions for the event. You also need to obtain "pledges of support" from 5 different makers within your community, as well as completing a budget worksheet for your event. Once you have filled out all the application documents, you can arrange an online meeting between your team and the Maker Faire team where they can approve your application and execute issuing a licensing agreement.
=== Select Management:<br/> ===
<span style="font-size:small;">Every successful event needs a good managment management team to run smoothly and successfully. Because Maker Faire requires extensive preparation, you should select people to be in your managment management team who are passionate about maker faire, and will be driven by the success of the event.</span>
=== Promote and Launch:<br/> ===
<span style="font-size:small;">What would a Maker Faire be without an audience, or even the makers themselves? The size of your event dictates the amount of promotion required, and how you promote depends on factors like its location. For example getting students interested and informed for a Maker Faire located near or in a University, advertising through facebookFacebook, posters, and the university webpage web page might be the best way to get the word around. Makers might be harder to come across, and may need to be sought out and contacted directly.</span>
== How to Run a Maker Space ==
=== Space Access and Purpose:<br/> ===
You need to make sure sure that you have access to enough space for the duration of the event. The amount of space your requires scales to how many makers you are hosting, and how large their productions are. Some makers might have additional requirements, such as a stage for performances, or access to additional secure storage, so ensure that you communicate to your makers to accommodate for them. For some larger event, or ones that might last longer, you will need access to toilets facilities and eating facilities, and make sure you communicate to your audience if access to these things is limited. === Mentors and Liaisons: <br/> === There are many people out there who can help you organize your event. A lot of people before you have organized similar events, and have likely experienced similar issues that you will. There are also people on the Maker Faire team who are able and willing to help out. Once you quickly sign up to Maker Faire Support through the Maker Faire website, you will be given access to a variety of emails for different people who can help you with almost anything you need.

== How to Promote a Maker Faire ==
<span style="font-size:small;">Part of this task is bringing general audience members to the Faire, but the other part is bringing those who supported the event to it as well. Sponsors who have funded or provided something beneficial for the creation of the Faire should be invited as honorary guests, and some of them may even present themselves as a guest speaker if asked. These honorary guests are most likely going to be experts in the field, which would create incredible networking opportunities for students in attendance (This could also be used as a marketing strategy). This is the chance for students and makers alike to gain knowledge from professionals who have experience, so don’t be shy to ask anybody.</span>
