This Small Business Week event at MakeHaven will feature 3 member makers sharing what they make, how they sell it, and what they’ve learned along the way. After the featured talks, we’ll open it up for brief, optional sharing from attendees.

If you make and sell products, art, objects, kits, apparel, or other creative work, bring something to show. If you’re curious about starting or testing a small maker business, come listen, ask questions, and connect.
