CraftyCon is not just an event, but a movement. Imagine 500 handcrafters under one roof.  Bloggers, Etsy shop owners, and indie craft sellers like YOU, all hosting and participating in professionally facilitated conversations about the industry and business of making.  We are so excited about the incredible line up of speakers we have booked so far.  More are being added everyday, so keep checking that list!

CraftyCon will offer on-site pitch sessions with publishers, hands-on photography lessons, business plan advice from the experts, and superb how-to knowledge from marketing and legal experts who know their stuff.  You will leave CraftyCon having added concrete, measurable value and growth to your creative business. When you aren’t in one of the three educational tracks being offered, you can chill out in the Creative Hub and get your craft on.  Or you can hob-nob with the celebrities and experts in our Networking Lounge with free WiFi.

All of your meals and snacks are included with your ticket price. We will be working hard and playing hard.  Everyone will leave CraftyCon with amazing swag… and parties, heck ya there will be parties!  You just wait.  CraftyCon is an event you don’t want to miss!
