school's in session!

Having attended a similar session, I am so happy to announce that registration for Schoolhouse Craft has opened! In 2010, the Conference of Creative Entrepreneurs was hosted in Seattle, WA and the Seattle based organizers decided to continue hosting a conference for small business owners and creatives. They branched off and started Schoolhouse Craft to help small business owners and those in the crafty realm to express their creativity, take product photos, sell at brick and mortar shops, legalities of business, the world of craft fairs and more. 

Early bird registration runs until August 31st, so make sure to book your tickets here!

Who can attend the CCE?
Anyone who considers themselves a creative professional! We define creative professionals as people who generate all or part of their income through creative commerce. They own their own business or work for a small business or are looking to start a creative/small business. This can include, but is not restricted to craftspeople, fine artists, designers, writers and service agents who work in the creative industries.

Why should I attend the CCE?
CCE attendees will hear speakers and see demonstrations from educators who are renowned within the creative small business community. CCE is also an amazing opportunity to network and build friendships with other small business creative professionals. We hope CCE will be a fun event too, as we have several social events planned throughout the weekend!

Any Vancouverites up for a road trip!?
