“The idea of a community event where people from all backgrounds can come together...to learn from each other, have fun, make some connections, and go home with new ideas, inspiration, and a few skills...is very exciting!” remarked Jenn Swanson, Creator & Host of the Communication Diva Podcast.

Workshop presenters receive a thank you gift and some delicious food.

The public is invited to participate in specific workshops or ongoing demonstrations. A schedule will be available in mid-October on the website and at the event.
