Martha Stewart American Made Turns Five
Join me in celebrating American Made’s 5th Anniversary!
I am so proud of all the talented Makers we've helped over these past five years. Our annual event honors and highlights up and coming entrepreneurs who have demonstrated innovation, determination and creativity in the fields of agriculture, manufacturing, design and style. These companies not only embody the American spirit, but inspire all of us to pursue our entrepreneurial dreams.
Part of the mission of American Made has always been to invite attendees to learn from me, my editors, and some of the best purveyors across the country. Our Summit includes discussion panels on topics ranging from doing good works to women's leadership and so much more. Dozens of other small businesses join our retail market to share their products and knowledge. We provided workshops, informational displays and a wonderful arena for entrepreneurs to connect and learn. If you're an entrepreneur, and plan to be in the New York City area Saturday, October 22nd, I urge you to join us for American Made’s very special anniversary Summit, and find out what you can do to grow your business!
