What is the Michigan Maker Summit?

The Michigan Maker Summit is a hands-on conference for creators, makers, and small business owners who use tools like lasers, UV printers, CNCs, and 3D printers to build their ideas.
‍
It is a space for people who love to create and want to grow their skills, learn from others, and discover the latest tools shaping the maker community in Michigan. You will get to learn directly from leaders, connect with fellow makers, and take part in sessions designed to help you bring your creative business to the next level.
