REASONS WHY A VIRTUAL SUMMIT IS BETTER THAN THE OTHER, OLDER, SO-LAST-YEAR KIND:
The best creative minds in town put this together.
The 2020 Maker City Summit is 100% current, 100% stylish, 100% what you expect from the Mayor’s Maker Council. It’s packed with inspiring, energetic and knowledgeable people with an array of creative solutions, business acumen, and fantastic ideas for growing and sustaining your small maker business. The best part is that it comes to you straight from your desktop.
With keynote speakers Van Tucker, Interim CEO of Launch TN, who’ll kick off the Summit with “Brandology; The Art and Science of Branding;” Regina Bonds, who’ll help you “recognize your value, find your voice, and clarify your path;” Chris McAdoo, who’ll speak on “The Art of the Pivot” -- hello? relevant much? -- and Stephen Brown of Glitterville, who knows how to “Make Every Day a Holiday;” you’ll be in the virtual room where it happens with some of the best creative minds around.
There are workshops galore, and expert sessions that continue after the Summit wraps. See? Virtual is better!
Lunchpool’s online platform.
Lunchpool is a versatile, imaginative virtual platform that mimics a school cafeteria setting -- participants sit at virtual tables, interacting with each other within the group or in private messages.
With Lunchpool, you’ll be able to see and hear the Summit speakers, raise your hand and ask questions, participate in workshops, chat and network between events, even table-hop.
And while we’re on the topic, along with Lunchpool comes:
Zero social awkwardness.
Intrigued by a workshop but no time to participate after the initial pop-in? Unable to hear a keynote speaker until late in their time slot? Frustrated that you have time conflicts for whole sections of the Summit?
No worries. Your all-access pass gives you permission to hop in and out based on your needs, and even revisit the recorded workshops after the Summit ends.
Which means you won’t get the stink-eye if you enter late, or leave early.
No gas, no fumes, no traffic, no questionable bumper stickers.
You don’t have to be wedged between a monster truck and a KAT bus on your way to crafty, creative enlightenment. Save money. Save the earth. Save your sanity.
So come on board. Poke around for a while. Use all the things. Meet & greet new people. Attend The Maker City Summit 2020 and bask in all the online goodness.
Join us for the fifth annual Maker City Summit, September 12 + 13, on Lunchpool’s digital platform! The Summit is presented by the Mayor’s Maker Council in partnership with the Knoxville Entrepreneur Center.
