Before you can offically officially create a maker faire 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 oranization 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 documensdocuments, you can arrange an online meeting between your team and the Maker Faire team where they can approve your apllication application and execute issuing a licensing agreement.

<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>

<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>

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.
