For the past few years as a practitioner of design and fabrication, I have build relationships with people of shared interest and related works. I thought it would be great to have people actively producing works in the field and hear the process and knowledge, so I threw a small conference called "Making with Machine 2017."

My company MINIFACTURE created and hosted the conference, with speakers from various fields, with a common theme of utilizing machines to bring tangible output.
