Programs
Overview
FAB24 is an immersive techno-social innovation conference.
The event provides a platform for knowledge exchange and collaboration, fostering connections and partnerships between the international maker community and local communities to shape our collective future.
Theme
Fabricating Equity represents our vision of a world where economic, social, and educational gaps are reduced through equitable access to technological and educational tools. We strive to provide equal opportunities for everyone, regardless of their background or circumstances, to have access to digital transformation and innovation.
To guide the content of the conference and maximize its impact, this theme will be examined through five distinct lenses:
- Future Proof Skills
- Cultural Equity
- Community Innovation & Impact
- Technology 5.0
- Innovative Industries
How does it work?
The event features four separate but interconnected programs, each a unique experience with a specific goal. We invite participants to join all four, if possible.
- Fab City Challenge México
- Fab Festival México
- Fab Lab Conference and Symposium
- Beyond Fashion
Fab City Challenge México
The Fab México Challenge will take place just before the Conference. Both international and local participants will collaborate to improve, support, or develop sustainable projects and initiatives, distributing the impacts around the country.
The Challenge will begin on July 26 and will culminate in a presentation at the Fab Fest: Maker Faire event, where participants will interact with the community to share their experiences and results. Challenge activities will be held in Cuetzalan, Puebla, and Mérida. Read more
Fab Festival Mexico
The Fab Festival Mexico is a dynamic two-day event featuring interactive activities, highlighting the innovative projects from the Fab City Challenge Mexico, and offering a forum to engage with the local community. We invite you to participate in this celebration of creativity, technology, and community collaboration on August 3rd and 4th. This event presents a unique opportunity to explore pioneering projects, take part in hands-on activities, and network with individuals who share a passion for shaping the future of our cities.

Fab Lab Conference and Symposium
At FAB23 Bhutan, participants explored a vast range of topics, covering food supply chain sustainability, climate change mitigation, digital literacy, universal access to STEM education, inclusive and participatory design, democratization of technology, smart capital, job-skills creation, and the broad innovation ecosystem—just to name a few. We can’t wait to see how these ideas have evolved since last summer.
And we’re really looking forward to the new content that you propose for FAB24!
