About this Event
Made for What’s Next is ONSIDE’s annual holiday networking event and business showcase — a chance to discover and shop from local women entrepreneurs while connecting with other women in the ONSIDE community. The event brings together entrepreneurs who are building businesses, creating products, and exploring new opportunities, giving them a space to showcase what they’ve built, connect with potential customers and partners, and build relationships with one another.
As we close out ONSIDE’s 2026 focus on new markets, export, and opportunities, Made for What’s Next celebrates the businesses and ideas women entrepreneurs are bringing to market while creating connections that can open doors to what comes next.
