Calling all makers, small business movers and shakers! Etsy and I Heart Art: Portland bring you a day packed with hands-on workshops, connecting with peers and learning new business skills, all aimed at boosting the “local” in our economy.

Join the movement to build sustainable micro-economies.

At just $20, a ticket gives you access to several workshops and discussions designed for everyone from the new entrepreneur to the seasoned professional. Topics range from creating a website in an hour, to reducing toxins in your workplace. And don’t worry about lunch, a $5 food voucher should pretty much cover it.
