Paper Crafts

Join us for 1st Saturday of each month-features amazing local artists & unique vendors; live music. Family & dog friendly.

This month topic: **Conference ROI: What I Learned from the 10th Best Ever Conference — And Was It Worth Thousands?** I just returned from the 10th annual Best Ever Conference — and this was my third year attending. The big question most investors ask: **Is it really worth spending a few thousand dollars to attend a conference?** General ticket or VIP? Are the connections real — or just hype? At our March 7th Meetup, we’ll break this down strategically. ### What We’ll Cover: ✔️ General Admission vs VIP — what’s the real difference? ✔️ Where the true value actually happens (hint: not always on stage) ✔️ What I learned that you can’t get from podcasts, YouTube, or webinars ✔️ The quality of operators, capital partners, and fund managers in the room ✔️ How to evaluate conference ROI like an investor ✔️ Who should attend — and who should save their money This session is not about selfies and name-dropping. It’s about: * Capital access * Operator credibility * Long-term positioning in commercial real estate * Strategic relationship building If you’re building in CRE — passive, active, or hybrid — understanding where to allocate time and capital is critical. Come ready for an honest, behind-the-scenes breakdown. =============================================== Kudos to the SuperLadies! This is a Monthly event. We meet in person to share resources & information and to discuss and solve problems we have in commercial real estate investments. Since we are a very small group of dedicated and passionate female real estate investors, we are committed to being honest and open to each other, and what we discuss stays inside the group only. Any ladies who have an interest in commercial real estate investment (passively or actively) and would like to share their experience and resources are welcome to join us. We will meet in different fancy places and even combine with other fun educational and networking events to make the SuperLadies better, happier, and wealthier every day and every week! Agenda (subject to change): 1:30pm - 3:30pm Lunch and network Self-Introductions Your background and current job; Your interest in investing; What you can provide value to and what you are looking for, etc. Share your investing experience - good or bad; passive or active investing; Bring your deals - we can review and analyze them together. Address: Capital One Coffee in the Domain 11801 Domain Boulevard, Suite 160, Austin, TX 78758 Looking forward to seeing you soon!

Bring a whiteboard or a laptop or a piece of paper. We will be solving 1 easy and 1 medium problem on LeetCode. We have no rules for being late or leaving early, you can be late and start from the second problem or do the first one and leave. The main idea is to work together on it, share thoughts and discuss a solution. For those who don't like the time pressure during the session, I will be posting problems in the comments for the session 1 day in advance.

Come shop- features over 60 local makers backed by live music. Hosting sites: W.Pecan Coffee& Beer, Hassell Dental, The Merc, Ceramics ‘n More, Pecan St Market, & the Sewing station. We’re accepting vendors: Central Texas Vendor collective

Queer crafters of all types are welcome to bring a portable project. We will chat and craft together. Most of our regulars don't check in on Meetup, so come even if no one is signed up. Weather permitting, we usually sit outside! Our group is usually around 5 people, but we have some bigger and smaller days -- we're all busy. Very rarely we'll have only one person show up; our sincerest apologies if that happens to you.

**March 07, 2026 - March 21, 2026** From Thornton Studios: "This show brings together four artists with expertise in color and painting, presenting work done primarily in watercolor on paper. Featuring new work by Rachel Koper, Laura Lynn Johnson, Robert Wymer, and Billy Barron, the exhibition ranges from borderland landscapes to abstraction. Works in the exhibition are tied together with a skilled and enthusiastic use of color, plein air experiences and a continued appreciation for the delicate, unpredictable and unforgiving but surprising nature of the medium." **Reception** March 07\, 2026 \| 6\-9 pm [Thornton Road Studios](https://glasstire.com/venues/thornton-road-studios/) 2309 Thornton Road Austin, Texas 78704

Welcome to the first Let's Create. You will receive supplies to create one or more cards (but not the one pictured .. not this month anyway). These events are usually held at Day's Paper Palace (my home). However, this is a placeholder for the event and it may be moved to the Grove City Library. If you are new, you will not need to bring supplies. They will be provided.

Let's Crop!

5:45-7:45 in Conference Room B, Library lower level. Bring your yarn projects, meet new friends. If you plan to attend, please RSVP yes. If you can’t attend, please change your RSVP to no. This helps anyone who is waitlisted and it allows me to have an accurate count of attendees as our space is quite limited. Plenty of parking in the lot, in the overflow lot across the street, and on the street. See you there! Winter Note: If the weather is bad and I have to cancel the Meetup, i will issue the cancellation not later than 3 p.m. of that day.

**We are expanding our creative programming opportunities with Queer Quills, a quiet writing and sharing space. Queer Quills features some prompts, supplies and friendly faces to help get some inspiration or feedback for your writing. Hope to see you there!**
