I just learned of this event and thought I'd share with Sudo Room.

The International Symposium on Academic Makerspaces (ISAM) will be held in on the beautiful UC Berkeley campus in Berkeley, California August 6-8, 2025!
What is ISAM
The International Symposium on Academic Makerspaces (ISAM) is the preeminent annual meeting for the academic makerspace community. Over a span of 3 days, 300+ faculty, staff, student, and industry leaders gather to share makerspace knowledge, experience and inspiration in order to maximize impact on (i) the student learning experience and (ii) alumni success.
Past attendees have included student and faculty advocates, upper administration/leadership, government policy makers, educational researchers makerspace managers, industrial representatives, and other practitioners.
This year the organizing host for ISAM2025 is the Jacobs Institute for Design Innovation at the University of California, Berkeley.
