Summer Social: Where Creators and Small Business Owners Connect & Create
A meaningful mixer for content creators x small business owners. Includes panel, workshop + intentional networking. Oh, and light bites!
The Summer Social was created to bridge the gap between small businesses doing meaningful work and the creators who know how to help share those stories with the world.
There are so many small businesses making a real impact in their communities — but many don’t know how to communicate their story online, create engaging content, or build visibility in a way that feels authentic and effective.
At the same time, content creators, photographers, videographers, marketers, and social media professionals are looking for businesses they genuinely believe in and want to help grow.
This event brings those worlds together.
It’s about helping the people doing great work get louder.
Because sometimes the smallest businesses have the biggest impact — they just need the right tools, strategy, and creative partnerships to help more people see them.
Through intentional networking, a live panel, workshop experiences, and real conversations, this event is designed to spark collaborations that help businesses grow and creators connect with brands they actually care about.
This is where storytelling, creativity, and community come together.

Workshop + Panel
The workshop introduces the Collaboration Blueprint for creators and small business owners, focused on how to build clear, effective partnerships that lead to real content and real growth. It covers how to structure collaborations, align expectations, and work together whether there is budget or a trade agreement in place. The panel expands on this with real stories from creators and business owners actively navigating visibility, messaging, and partnerships, sharing what collaboration looks like in practice and how it’s driving results for both sides.
