What is FAB25?
Every year FABx brings together the global FabLab network, makers, researchers and innovators to reimagine the future of production and digital fabrication. Over several days of talks, workshops, and hands-on sessions, participants share knowledge, showcase projects, and collaborate on solutions that bridge technology, sustainability, and community impact.
We are proud to present an exciting programme of panels, workshops and networking opportunities that showcase the brilliant work the foundation and community are taking forward.
