THE Department of Trade and Industry Cebu Provincial Office is calling all makers, creatives and innovation enthusiasts to join the first Philippine FabLab Network Conference SlingshotPH MAKER Edition on Jan. 26 to 27 at University of the Philippines Cebu.

The event is focused on innovation, digital fabrication, collaboration and expanding the maker community in the country.

Bannering the theme “Building Communities To Accelerate the Innovation Economy,” the SlingshotPH: Maker Edition will gather in one venue the 12 FabLabs that the DTI has supported over the last two years, makerspaces, enablers, the local maker community and academic institutions that are operating these FabLabs.

The program will be packed with lectures and demo-workshops for makerspaces and enablers to network and learn from each other.

DTI will be inviting makers/innovators from the international community to share the types of projects that they are doing, how FabLabs/makerspaces can be better utilized to foster innovation, and how to effectively network.

Those interested are requested to contact the DTI Cebu at (032) 255-7082, 253-2631, 255-6971 local 109 or register at: https://slingshotphmaker.eventbrite.com
