Maker Nation! Case Studies in Country-Scale Organizing for Medical Supply Production

Representatives from India, Brazil, Germany, France, Spain and Romania will share tactics and learnings from their experiences organizing country-wide distributed manufacturing efforts for PPE and medical supplies. We’ll talk about how it’s done, tools, and consider the opportunities of an even more networked digital fabrication emergency response (+ what else!?) network.
