Official, Semi-Official, one-off and other events at the Knox Makers space.

Event Calendar

Not all events make it onto this calendar. Many events only make it to the Discussion or Announcements mailing lists, IRC or in person at Tuesday meetings. Best of all, Knox Makers is about people getting together at the space to do stuff... like in person. Some events just happen. Pay attention!

If you'd like to host an event yourself, we recommend involving at least one Knox Maker members, and have advice on hosting an event at Knox Makers.

Event posters are encouraged to crosspost to the Google Calendar. View the Google Calendar, view the Google Calendar in XML, or the Google Calendar in ical format.

To post Google Calendar entries for your event, ask on the Knox Makers-discuss mailing list.
