Hello Etsy!
Our amazing partner,
California College of the Arts will be hosting this one day conference on Sunday September 18th at their SF campus. Tickets may be sold out, but there is a wait list that you can sign up for on the
Event Brite, along with a few alternate ways to participate in this global conference!
1) Watch the event LOCALLY at TechShop SF
You all remember what wonderful hosts the folks at
TechShop SF were for our launch event,
