FAN4 - 4th Fablab Asia Network Conference 
<H3>May 2018, 2rd-5th, Ho Chi Minh City</H3>
<H3>Theme: Co-create a better world</H3>
The conference theme this year is “Co-create a better world”. We have selected this theme to emphasize a refreshing conference experience whereby international participants are given  opportunities, by design, to co-create solutions with local makers and organizations that seek to make an impact. To do so, the organizer will enable international and local participants to team up and work together, over a period of 3 days. Teams will brainstorm and prototype hands-on solutions that address a challenge in the local context or improve upon an existing solution. A pop-up fablab will be set up to serve this purpose.
Why do we want to do it this way?
There are a couple of key reasons.
Firstly, we believe that this hands-on, collaborative experience promotes deeper cultural exchange, knowledge transfer, and enable both parties to gain new insights into local problems. This will accelerate learning and innovation towards Sustainable Development Goals.
Secondly, based on our observations from organizing and participating hackathons in the past, we think that the best way to bring about long-lasting changes post-event is to ensure that there is a problem-owner who is able to implement and build upon the outcomes of such one-off events to create a better world in the long run.
