 If you are a member of Milwaukee Makerspace, you should propose your event to the Board of Directors. Be as specific as possible. Provide a date, start time, end time, as well as any additional dates/times needed for set-up and tear-down. How many people are you expecting? How much space do you need? Are you planning on serving alcohol? (You'll need a license and probably supplementary insurance to do so. You should find this out and provide details to the board with your request.) Do you have staff? You will need to provide people to run your event, as we have no paid staff. (You could attempt to find other members willing to volunteer.) If you need tables and chairs, we do have some of those. If you need nice tables and nice chairs, you may need to provide those. Do you need a kitchen? We do not have one. (We do have a lovely "snack area" though.) If you are a member of Milwaukee Makerspace, you should propose your event to the Board of Directors. Be as specific as possible.

-Hosting an event at Milwaukee Makerspace is not impossible, but it can be a challenge. The first thing to remember is that we are a community of makers, and we have over 125 members who love to use the space to make things. Sometimes an event is a chance to show off the things we make, and sometimes it's an inconvenience to our members.+Hosting an event at Milwaukee Makerspace is not impossible, but it can be a challenge.

 If you are not a member and wish to host an event, it's a little more difficult, as you will need to find a member willing to be the sponsoring host, which basically makes them 100% responsible for the event. They are basically running it for you/with you. Trust plays an important role. (Also note that individual members cannot be compensated in any way for use of the space by an outside organization.) If you are not a member and wish to host an event, it's a little more difficult, as you will need to find a member willing to be the sponsoring host, which basically makes them 100% responsible for the event.
