New York, September 9, 2013 - This fall, Martha Stewart Living Omnimedia (NYSE: MSO) will present its "American Made" program for the second year. On October 16, 2013, makers, doers and creative entrepreneurs from across the country will gather in New York City at The Andaz Fifth Avenue for the American Made Talks & Workshops. Martha has planned the ultimate day of networking sessions and panels for crafters, makers and small business owners alike.

"American Made" is a movement for individuals and communities that have turned their passion for handcrafted, well-designed goods into small businesses. With small businesses in the U.S. creating the majority of new jobs, "American Made" shines a spotlight on the rising stars in this maker subculture with the "American Made Awards," selected by the editors of Martha Stewart Living magazine in the categories of Crafts, Design, Garden, Style, Food, and Technology; as well as Audience Choice honorees chosen by popular vote on the "American Made" website. More than 230,000 people took part in last year's Audience Choice nominations and vote.

Over the course of the day at the American Made Talks & Workshops, guests will learn from Martha and interact with celebrities, innovators and creative entrepreneurs. The Creative Makers Series All Day Pass ($305.00) kicks off the morning with breakfast prepared by Martha's favorite chefs and purveyors including Dominique Ansel, chef and owner of Dominique Ansel Bakery, featuring the famous Cronut™. The day continues with exclusive sessions covering topics such as what it takes to become a creative leader and philanthropic entrepreneur, and how to build a successful brand, including:
