Upcoming Events
Hey y’all! I’m putting together a running list of trade shows, online conferences, and meetups for laser makers and creative small businesses. These events are great for discovering new suppliers, learning new techniques, and connecting with other makers—plus, they’re usually super encouraging and energizing!
I’ll keep this page updated as new opportunities come up, so check back often!
