Welcome Makers!
This is your resource center to guide you through the many details of exhibiting at Maker Faire Austin.
Please begin by reading our Maker Manual very carefully. It should contain most if not all of the information you need to begin to prepare for a successful Faire experience.
We have NEW rules on parking and Maker Check-in this year!! Please review the Maker Manual for changes.
We update the toolkit frequently. If you can’t find the information you need, please check back.

- Load Out: The show is LIVE until 6pm Saturday. DO NOT START PACKING UP EARLY! This is dangerous to our attendees and a violation of the venue’s policies..(and bad form) You MUST have a separate LOAD OUT pass to enter the Loading area to unload.
