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: Casual gatherings to meet up with other makers, check out a maker space, and enjoy a little social time.
Free and open for anyone to attend.
