Event Information

Gulf Coast MakerCon 2025 is set for May 31 at the    Yuengling Draft Haus and Kitchen  at 11109 N 30th St, Tampa, FL 33612.

The event will be free and open to the public, and in this beautiful new venue will offer a fun and engaging day for all!

Our full exhibitor registration will open soon, but in the meantime,  you can sign up via our Early Interest form at left to be first in line when it does!  Use this form to tell us a bit about yourself, what you make, how you’ll be demoing or showcasing it and if you have recommendations for others who might want to be invited.  

This is an outdoor event, held on the broad, shady, spacious grounds of the Draft Haus. (Check out the header photo above the form.)  Nonprofit and education exhibits are free.  Vendor exhibitor rates will range from $100 to $300, depending on exhibitor needs and preferences.  Some commercial booths for craft and hobby suppliers are also available.

We’re looking for creative “maker” style exhibits – crafts, trades, arts, music, jewlery making, wood working, metal work, textiles, inventions, innovations, interactive exhibits and related presentations.   Check out additional information below.

All exhibitors must fit our celebratory spirit of innovation and inventiveness, and provide interesting, interactive, and engaging experiences and innovative wares.  Individuals as well as groups such as hobbyist clubs and schools are welcome to apply to exhibit. 

Below are some of the categories of exhibitors we look for each year.
