Craft & Tech Mixer: Modernizing Tradition & Scaling Local Businesses

About This Event:

How can independent artisans, makers, and local business owners scale their work in the digital era without losing the unique craftsmanship and authenticity that define them?

Technology is moving faster than ever, but sustainable business growth still relies on genuine craft, strong local roots, and real human connections.

Craft & Tech Mixer: Modernizing Tradition & Scaling Local Businesses is a relaxed, high-impact evening gathering in the heart of the Aurora Cultural Arts District (ACAD).

Hosted at the historic The People’s Building, this session brings together local artisans, independent creators, small business owners, tech builders, and freelancers for honest, hype-free conversations on using modern tools—from simple automations to smart marketing—to grow sustainable income while staying true to your craft.
