Everything changed with the pandemic. How we shop, which businesses survived, and who benefited from federal programs and who was left out - all impact how we move forward from this global catastrophe. Yet, we also have a unique opportunity today to build stronger, more inclusive local economies. We can make sure more people benefit from the investments pulling us out of the economic hault of the pandemic. And our makers, and their businesses, are an essential part of the solution. Join this keynote session by Ilana Preuss, author of
Recast Your City: How to Save Your Downtown with Small-Scale Manufacturing, to talk about how we make it happen, and our role to lead the way.
