Speaking
Bre speaks at conferences, universities, and events around the world. He's committed to developing infrastructure for creative people to do wonderful things. Bre co-founded a popular speaking series with Brady Forrest called "Ignite."
Currently he is talking about the intersection of robotics, manufacturing, open source hardware, and community with a talk entitled "The Robot That Sharing Built: The Open Source Personal Fabrication Revolution"
In this talk, Bre Pettis maps pathways through the shifting landscape of community based research and production. This talk will offer serious commentary on the opportunities for collaboration in manufacturing and include evocative stories and anecdotes about rapidly manufactured engagement rings, body part replication, news printed on toast, object teleportation over ip, and automated cupcake decoration. The take-away will be real-world examples that showcase the power of open systems and shared development in a manufacturing context.
Other talks that he has given have focused on the Makers Movement, Hackerspaces, DIY Survival, Rapid Prototyping, Open Source Hardware and Digital Design.
