To ensure you have adequate power onsite, it's essential we know in advance the specific amount you need.
To find the total amperage you require, find the amperage listed on the back of each piece of equipment you plan to use onsite. Then, add up the amps and round up to the closest amperage below.
- All options below are for a 120v circuit (normal US house circuit.)
- If you require a 208V or 240v circuit, select "Special power requirements" and explain your power needs in the comment box provided.
- Average amperage for common Maker Faire items: Laptop ~2A, Sewing Machine ~0.6A, Lights ~0.3A-2A, 3D Printer ~10A, Arduino ~0.1A.
Please check your equipment, and don’t guess; Thank you in advance.
one 5 amp circuit (0-500 watts, 120V)

Compensation Request
Our performance budget is extremely limited as Maker Faire is not a music festival. Maker Faire provides publicity, large crowds and excellent opportunities for networking and just having fun. We cannot give you what you might normally make in a club or music festival, but we may be able to help defray some of your costs with a small stipend for your performance. We can also offer you complimentary tickets so you can enjoy the Faire with your family and friends. Below, please let us know what kind of compensation you would like to receive for playing the event, both monetary and number of guest tickets.
Thanks for the opportunity to play! We are happy to play without financial compensation.
We will play for guest tickets only.
