    Just curious, is there any fairs or 3d print shows/ conventions coming up in Atlanta?

    Also, I am a 3D Hubs Ambassador and was wondering if we hosted an event the type of attendance we would get.

    http://makerfaireatl.com/ is still in the planning stages for 2016, but they do one every year.

    I haven't been to one myself, was going to go last year but the event coincided with some nasty thunderstorms, and since the drive to Decatur was a good 90 miles for me, I didn't go.

    Host one in Orlando. I'd be there regardless of weather :)

    It looks like if you google "Maker Faire (major city name)" you'll find a website dedicated to all things related to maker events in that city.

    Thanks for confirming that :)
    If they did one here it was totally without any fanfare.

    I have reached out to see if they can be interested (we do have a few other things in the area to make it worth travelling) but we don't have any local makerspaces either (that is a bit of a drag). Well, none I have dug up yet. There are a few up and down the coast.

    The Maker Faires I've looked up so far all seem to happen in/around mid-October.

    I am surprised that the Maker Faire in Charlotte is so poorly advertised and attended, and we have 3D Systems in our backyard (Rock Hill, SC). No word yet on a 2016 event.
