Maker MeetINGS & Mingles
All of The Maker City meetings and mingles are designed to provide makers, small business owners, and the community with education, connection, and inspiration. We tackle topics related to maker businesses, navigating the next set of pivots, or learning new skills while strengthening our community through connection.
Maker Mingles are casual gatherings to meet up with other makers, check out a maker space, and enjoy a little social time. All Mingles are free and open for anyone to attend.
Make Learn Grow is a series of in-person multiple hour workshops designed to provide makers with business education to grow their small businesses. Make Learn Grow workshops cost $10 and are open for anyone to attend.
Maker Meet-Ins are one hour online classes . All Meet-Ins are free and open for anyone to attend.
