Under Art 120, I applied for Chattanooga to become the host city for the Nation of Makers Conference (NOMCON). We were selected out of fourteen cities to host this event. part of this included an interim role as logistics officer which rolls over to the next host city. NOMCON is a working conference that brings leaders in the maker movement from across the country together to spark ideas, spur intense discussion and drive action to move our community forward on both a local and national level. www.nomcon.org
