Silicon Valley Panel Discussion: From Makers to Manufacturing

We are on the brink of a world where the time between an idea’s conception and its physical rendering is not months but hours. The industrial revolution launched the age of manufactured goods, but mass fabrication has always required a long and expensive set-up, and the initial prototyping still required skilled handcrafting.

Soon, anyone with a computer may be able to make almost anything they can imagine, quickly and inexpensively. What might the “maker revolution” have in store for us in terms of our lifestyles and empowerment?

Join Silicon Valley Innovation Institute’s panel of experts at Foothills Tennis & Swimming Club for a provocative discussion.

Tuesday, August 25 from 7 to 9pm. Doors open at 6pm for drinks and appetizers. $20 in advance, $30 at the door. Tickets and info about the speakers at www.svii.net
