Mountain BizWorks’ fall 2024 Craft Your Commerce series expands on The Entrepreneur’s Toolkit theme, adding new learning opportunities for creative entrepreneurs. This fall’s offering includes expanding revenue streams, growing a team, and learning best practices for your web presence as a creative business. Registration is now open, and workshops kick off with a Makers’ Mixer August 1.
“The Fall Craft Your Commerce Series is a must for creative entrepreneurs looking to expand revenue streams, grow their team, and optimize their web presence,” shared Jamie Karolich, Craft Your Commerce Program Director. “With interactive workshops, expert guidance, and opportunities to connect with like-minded creatives, this series offers invaluable insights and practical takeaways for your business.” Note that participants will receive recordings of the workshops, so even those who cannot attend in person will benefit.
The fall 2024 Craft Your Commerce series is sponsored by Cowork at Center for Craft and TD Bank. Because of this generous support, Mountain BizWorks is excited to offer the spring virtual series at the rate of $10 per workshop or $60 for the Series Pass (as indicated below; excludes Foundations for Creatives).
