Exactly 12 years ago we announced the first Electromagnetic Field

A screenshot of a blog post, it reads:

Announcing Electromagnetic Field 2012
May 13, 2012

After just a few years of rapid growth there now are dozens of hackerspaces and makerspaces in the UK, with thousands of members. In addition there are countless other communities of craftsmen, artists, designers, engineers who are interested in the same DIY ethic, who are inquisitive, and keen to make things.

This year we want to bring everyone together for a large UK-wide camping festival, held in a field near Milton Keynes from 31 August to 2 September. The event is organised by a non-profit organisation and produced entirely by volunteers. We are members of well-known hackerspaces and other organisations.

We hope that you will join us, and invite you to help us turn it into something special! More details will follow very soon.

For more details and to register your interest go to emfcamp.org. And follow us on Twitter at @emfcamp.

We urgently need sponsors - if we do not secure more, we will have to make tough decisions.

Tickets cover base costs, but sponsors pay for lovely things like our free childcare and talk transcription. Every little helps!
