The 2011 Brooklyn DIY Business Association Conference will be held on June 26 at the DUMBO Loft (155 Water Street) and Etsy Labs (55 Washington St, Suite 712).
From DIYBA:
For the first Brooklyn DIY Business Association Conference, we’re bringing together the independent music industry, freelance communicators, innovators of art and craft, Internet and tech gurus, and business and service providers for a day of inspiration, information, empowerment, and networking.
Conference attendees will attend four action-packed panels and—based on the information you provide in a goal-based registration survey—will engage in an affinity group and a DIYT (Do-It-Yourself-Together) incubator group.
A full-day pass is $125 per person and includes breakfast, lunch, and evening cocktails.
