Connecting Makers & Markets
We're building the technology platform that powers community commerce across the country.
Our Story
Convene Markets started with a simple mission: to enliven and enrich local communities through pop-up shopping experiences. For over 14 years, we've been running farmers markets and maker events under the FRESH Markets brand, learning what works and what doesn't.
Along the way, we built technology to solve our own problems - managing vendor applications, processing payments, coordinating events. What started as internal tools became something bigger: a platform that could help other organizers run better events.
Today, Convene Markets is the technology platform connecting thousands of makers with communities across the country. We provide the tools, the vendor network, and the expertise that event organizers need to succeed.
