Outside of the conference sessions, there was plenty for attendees to do. Attendees had the chance to visit 19 exhibitors, browse the silent auction, participate in the book swap, and drop off donation items with some of our exhibitors. The day wrapped up with a casual social hour, giving everyone time to relax, catch up with new connections, and keep the conversations going.

Continuing the conference with Community Impact Site Visits

The fun continued on October 29 with community impact site visits. Reuse Minnesota members Alta Technologies, Art Start, Architectural Antiques, Cool Trash, and Curiosity Studio welcomed groups of attendees to their locations. These visits offered a behind-the-scenes look at each organization's work, mission, and unique contributions to the reuse community.

Thank you for making REUSE26 a success!

A big thank-you to all of our sponsors, exhibitors, presenters, volunteers, and attendees who helped make REUSE26 such a great event! We couldn't do it without the many people and organizations who show up, share their knowledge, and work every day to strengthen Minnesota's reuse community.
