The National Maker Collective (NMC) is thrilled to invite you to our very first in-person conference, in collaboration with OhioNet, happening July 25, 2026 in Dayton, Ohio, and this one's for YOU.

Whether you're running a makerspace in a community center basement or a university innovation lab, dreaming about launching your first space, volunteering on weekends, or simply curious about what makes the maker movement tick, you belong here. This conference is built by makerspace people, for makerspace people. All backgrounds, all experience levels, all are welcome.

The NMC in partnership with OhioNet, is looking for presenters who embody our theme, Together We Make: Celebrating what unites us. We invite proposals from makerspace champions of all experience levels. This is an opportunity for first-time presenters OR seasoned researchers to share their ideas. We welcome sessions on all aspects of makerspace life. Success stories that made you proud. Research that changed your perspective. Hands-on workshops that get people creating. Lessons learned the hard way. Innovative programs. Community-building strategies. The nitty-gritty of daily operations. You get the idea! 

Our goal is a conference that inspires new research, fosters new connections, starts new conversations, AND is lots of fun!

Choose from three session types (all 45 minutes in length):
