Hello Craftcation Alumni!
We’re accepting submissions for our blog from Craftcation alumni on the topic of the importance of attending conferences. We want to hear from you about how Craftcation changed your business, life or creativity.
What we’re looking for:
-Well-written posts (don’t worry we’ll proof-read them)
-Honest accounts of your experience
-Tips for attendees on how to get the most out a conference, budget and plan and network while there etc.

-We welcome references to Craftcation but if you’ve attended other conferences, you’re welcome to share about those experiences as well.
