Booth Information

What to Know

Asmbly Maker Markets are a bit different from your typical vendor market in that booths will be set up within existing shop areas at Asmbly, each having its own unique features, sizes, and benefits. Please read through the booth details in each shop area and mark down your preferences in your vendor application.  We’ll do our best to accommodate booth requests and work with vendors to set them up in areas that will work well for them!

All booths will have electricity available, however, some may need extension cords run.  Please indicate whether you will be using electricity so we can plan accordingly and run power in advance where necessary.

Many booths will include machines in them.  We’d like to be able to highlight the equipment that is available at Asmbly but also want to ensure your items are the main spotlight.  If you need help coming up with creative ideas to work with the machines in your booth, please reach out at makermarket@asmbly.org.  We’re happy to help!

Textiles (1)

We will have the door to Textiles open to encourage traffic into this shop area.  However, more importantly, this is where we will be serving free drinks, including beer and wine, which will seal the deal on getting good visibility for the vendor in this shop area!

  • T1 – white tables and sewing machines along the back wall.

 

Multipurpose Room (3)

The multipurpose room will accommodate several vendors in an inviting open format with the table layout shown below.  All tables will be covered with table clothes unless .

  • G1 – central area closer to 3D printing.
  • G2 – central area with direct view walking into the room.
  • G3 – corner next to accent wall.

 

Lasers (2)

Booth set ups in this area will be highly unique in that they include the use of the laser as table space.  Vendors are encouraged to use the lasers creatively in their booth set ups (e.g. have the laser open with products displayed on the laser bed, use magnets on the lasers, etc).  However, vendors may NOT run the lasers during this event.  Put differently, on the spot laser work is not authorized, however vendors are encouraged to presell custom work during the event.

Vendors in this area will each be able to use the computer corresponding to the laser and are highly encouraged to do so.  Guests love seeing videos of the lasers in action and you creating your projects!  If you don’t already have footage, consider taking some as you create products for this event.

Lastly, each vendor in this area will split a portion of the center worktable.  Consider this when planning out your product displays for this area.

  • L1 🖥️ – Tarkin, computer station, and left half of the center worktable.
  • L2 🖥️ – Dorian, computer station, and right half of the center worktable.

 

Woodshop (8)

Lots of vendor space is available in the woodshop area!  Depending on demand and the size of booths vendors request, we may consider splitting the 4’x8’ workbenches in half to accommodate more vendors.

  • W1 – table saws and outfeed table.  This is a large booth with a lot of good potential for really interesting displays!
  • W2-7 – woodshop workbenches.
  • W8 — tool alcove.

 

Metal Shop (2)

The metal shop has limited egress, so we’ll only have a few vendor booths in this area.

  • M1 – welding shop area.
  • M2 – table next to the Tormach and the more central table near it.

 

Ceramics (7)

We’ve created several booths for the ceramics area in anticipation of high demand.  Some of these booths are smaller than others to give options for vendors with smaller inventories.  The shop will be rearranged to the configuration shown and described here for this event.

  • C1 — wheel area.  This vendor will use the wheels and the central table between them for their booth.  A really unique booth with lots of display opportunities!
  • C2 — table next to extruder and slab roller table.
  • C3-4 — single worktable (3’x6′).
  • C5 — smaller table, near exterior window (use the window for displays if you’d like!).  This booth is ideal for a vendor that either doesn’t have a lot of inventory or has very small items that don’t require a lot of space.
  • C6 — two worktables (each 3’x6′).  Great for vendors with TONS of stuff.
    • Note:  If we don’t have interest in this size booth, we will break these into two vendor booths.
  • C7 — glazing area.
