## Shop Talk: Connections at the COG

 Local business owners, nonprofit organizations, managers, community leaders and
stakeholders are invited to join us for Shop Talk, a morning of connection and conversation
at Tech Valley Center of Gravity!

### **Shop Talk: Connections at the COG**

We're inviting local business and community leaders to get an insiders look at the
Makerspace, meet the people behind the mission, and chat with neighboring businesses
in the Capital Region.

Come grab a cup of coffee and start your day with neighbors who care about making
Troy and the Capital Region thrive!

_This is the first event in the Shop Talk event series, when TVCOG opens its doors
to neighbors, potential partners and friends for a closer look at the Makerspace
and community conversation! The next Shop Talk event will be in early 2026._

of Gravity does not have its own designated parking lot but there is plenty of street
