CRAFTCATION 2022 - PRESENTER information
Hi! Welcome Craftcation 2022 Presenters! We are so excited for you to join us in April!
If we’ve yet to meet, I’m Katie Mac and I’ll be your point person throughout this planning process. I’m based in Atlanta repping the East Coast and am generally working from 9am – 6pm (ET) Mon – Fri with limited access to emails on the weekends. I strive to respond to emails within 24 hours so I appreciate your patience in advance.
This page will be your one-stop spot for all things Presenter related so please bookmark it for easy access. Some sections may be empty or marked as Coming Soon as we are in the first phase of preparations but I’ll be adding information regularly so keep checking back. I’ll also send emails as well so that nothing gets forgotten.
Click the button below to download a printable checklist of all documents and sections listed on this page. Also, I have added a button to the attendee news page – this page is stuffed full of information about workshop pre-registration, types of workshops offered and travel information as well as quick links to tons of helpful info.
If I can answer any questions or be of help in any way, please feel free to email me directly – katiemac@dearhandmadelife.com.
QUICK LINKS
PRESENTER REQUIREMENTS:
OPTIONAL: WORKSHOP HANDOUTS/PRESENTATION
Click the button(s) below to submit your Workshop Presentation and/or Workshop Handouts. This is optional and may not apply to the workshop(s) you are providing.
ACCEPTABLE FORMATS:
HANDOUTS: .In an effort to be more environmentally conscious, we are limited paper printing at Craftcation. We do not supply informational handouts for workshops. You may share links to handouts with your students for them to download and/or print themselves, or you are welcome to print them yourself and bring them with you. If you have a worksheet or exercise that students need to fill out during your workshop, you may send us a PDF version of the document and we will print that for you. (Black and white only with no more than three pages per workshop.) If you require more than three pages, please contact us for approval.
PRESENTATIONS: Google Slides (.gslides), Keynote (.key) or Powerpoint (.ppt)
To help streamline the process, and eliminate unnecessary technical issues, we are no longer allowing presenters to use their own computers to present in their workshops. We will load your workshop presentation onto one of our event laptops and have it ready at the start of your workshop.

OPTIONAL INCLUSIONS:
office hours
Office hours are one-on-one sessions that allow you the opportunity to connect with attendees for more personalized engagement. These sessions are set around your schedule in 1+ hour blocks that are split up into 10-20 min sessions. As these are set around your schedule, you can offer as many or as few sessions as you’d like – it’s completely up to you. This is your chance to offer mini-mentorship to creatives in need and share more about your services. Conference attendees will sign up to join you for Office Hours once they arrive at the conference.
