SAMPLE BLOG POST:

I’m excited to share about an event I’m attending/teaching at in spring 2018. Craftcation: Business + Makers Conference is an annual life-changing four-day event featuring industry professionals leading attendees in over 100+ hands-on DIY workshops and creative business classes.

Have you ever thought to yourself…

  • I’d love to take a vacation while making things with awesome people.
  • I have a great idea for a business that I want to turn into my full-time job but I don’t know where to start.
  • I have a successful business and I’m ready to take it to the next level but I’m not sure how.
  • I want to make meaningful connections with people in my field but I don’t have the time or opportunity to make it happen.

Craftcation is the place where you can make it happen!

If you’re a maker, blogger or creative business owner then join me for four inspiring days that you’ll never forget. Craftcation has over 100 hands-on workshops and business classes, so whether you’re coming to craft, grow your business or a little bit of both, there’s lots of making, meeting and learning in store for you.

Craftcation takes place April 4-8, 2018, in the beach town of Ventura, California, (about an hour north of Los Angeles). Craftcation utilizes Ventura’s historic downtown buildings and businesses as well as the beach for special events like networking meet & greets, cocktail socials, a pop-up shop, opening celebration, yoga, as well as food and art tours.

Registration opens 10.5.17 and the first 50 people to register get $50 off!
