Make it: Grow!
We’re still glowing from an amazing time at the SOLD OUT 2024 Maker City Summit. From innovative robots and insightful speakers to delicious food and new friendships, it was a celebration of creativity and collaboration.
Our goal for the summit is always to inspire makers and provide actionable takeaways to help grow their businesses. Every maker's journey is unique, so we crafted opportunities to ensure each attendee left with their questions answered and their individual needs met.

Jonathan Clark, Summit Chair
We have been working all year to create a Summit that connects, teaches and empowers makers to reach their goals. Sometimes that looks like enjoying the company of like-minded individuals; other times, it means filling a notebook with tactical steps to grow a business. We will do both in September! Join us for:
TWO days of tactical, business growth programming
TWO evening social events
Optional headshots with Aaron Ingram Photography
Optional 1:1 meeting with an industry expert
+ t-shirt, swag, coffee and food catered by Real Good Kitchen!

Caroline King, Emcee
Caroline King is a local performing artist, theatre director, choreographer, home organizer, singer, culinary enthusiast, dog walker, and improv comedian. She is a mom to two fantastic teenagers and the long-time lover of the best guy in town. Caroline is a born and bred Knoxvillian dyed in the “scruffy wool” through and through. When she is not on stage or backstage with a local arts group you can find her bringing peace and beauty (and some smiles) alongside Knoxville homeowners working for Knoxville’s very own Help You Dwell. She is also a founding member of the Knoxville-based improv comedy team “Pretend Friends.” She loves creative collaboration of any kind and seeks any opportunity to bring love and laughter together in the city she loves.
