My hold up on the old location was parking, unload/reload time/place
availability of where and when to get a truck in and out…. If this is now more
like our other current events, maybe I can go and either share TPUGs booth, or
have my own nearby... Is there a logistic schedule posted anywhere yet?

That's great! We have four volunteers already, any others willing/able to
help?
I've set up a Discord channel for planning: https://discord.gg/FhD8VfH
I'll take care of the application, since I'm working on some for other groups
anyway.
Cheers-Leif

Subject: [torontocbm] Fwd: Announcing Maker Festival 2020
Hey all, this is great news. Toronto Maker Festival is back, now at the
Ontario Science Centre! See below for the details. Saturday June 13th.
In previous years TPUG has had a booth with some Commodore machines set up and
it's been a lot of fun, popular with the crowd, and great exposure for TPUG and
the retrocomputing community.
Would we like to participate again? Who wants to volunteer? It's only 1 day,
(Saturday) and last time they had volunteers on hand to help during lunch
breaks etc. The more the merrier though!
I'll be at the Festival in a different capacity (related to my music) and thus
can't run the booth, but happy to help with set up and logistics.
Cheers,
-Leif

A NEW VENUE & RENEWED AWESOMENESS!
In partnership with the Ontario Science Centre, we're thrilled to announce
Maker Festival 2020! This free-to-attend event will be held Saturday, June 13,
2020, on the Ontario Science Centre grounds. Maker Festival is a celebration of
Toronto’s tech, DIY and maker communities.

“We’re delighted to host Maker Festival 2020 and bring together a diverse
community of makers,” said Ontario Science Centre Interim CEO, Catherine
Paisley. “Finding new ways to engage visitors with science, technology, art and
creativity in unexpected ways is at the core of what we do. Collaborative
partnerships can spark the inspiration and innovation people of all ages need
to thrive in a rapidly-changing world.”

As always, Maker Festival is free to attend. You can register here. Plus, to
celebrate the 2020 Festival, the Ontario Science Centre is offering a 50%
discount off online purchases of general admission tickets for anyone who
registers to attend the Festival before May 18, 2020. For more info on how to
access this special discount and to register for your free Festival tickets,

With the date set, we’re now on the hunt for creative people, projects,
organizations and ideas to take part in Maker Festival. If you’re a maker, show
us your stuff! Whether your project is a tiny prototype or a visually
spectacular finished creation, tell us about it! Then there’s Rally Alley—the
zone curated for makers start-ups with physical prototypes. If one or all of
these is you, please fill out our Call for Makers before April 13, 2020. Go
makers, go!

You probably think it takes a lot of minds, hearts and hands to make an event
like Maker Festival a success—and you’re right! We’re totally volunteer-run and
there are plenty of fun and rewarding opportunities to help out. We have
volunteer roles open on our Organizing Team as well as volunteering on the day
of the event. Both are great ways to share your talents, learn cool things and
have fun while supporting the maker community. Join our team today!

Maker Festival is a 100% volunteer organized non-profit event that would not be
possible without the generous support from our sponsors. If your organization
is interested in becoming a sponsor, we have options ranging from $250–$25,000
and look forward to tailoring a sponsorship package that suits you. For more
information, please contact Jen Dodd directly at jen@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx or give
her a call at 416-997-9048.

the Maker Festival at the Ontario Science Centre. Celebrate our new partnership
and the renewed awesomeness of the largest maker community gathering in Canada!
