Conference of Creative Entrepreneurs

This Friday, Saturday, and Sunday is the Conference of Creative Entrepreneurs.  Have you heard about this?  It's going on at the Women's Building on 19th (where the Ravelry meetup was a couple weeks ago).  It's three days packed full of useful information for most any Creative Small Businessperson.

The sessions cover topics like taxes, product photography, creating a personal brand, monetizing your blog, on-demand manufacturing ... so many things!  Just take a look at schedule.  Sessions are conducted by creative professionals that have real world experience, like Jenny Hart, Diane Gilleland, Meg Mateo Ilasco, and a bunch of other people you've probably heard of.

I've been given the opportunity to attend in exchange for reviewing the sessions I attend here on my blog (aka a free pass ... woohoo!).  I'm excited about the sessions I've picked out for Sunday ... you'll have to wait to hear about what I chose.  I'm bummed that I won't be able to get to the "Monetizing Your Blog" on Friday, though.  I *need* that session.  Ha!

All three days are $265 or you can buy day passes for $100/day.  Best of all, if you're a crafty businessperson, this is probably a business expense for you.  Win-win.  Anyone already going?  Anyone planning on going now?  I'll see you there Sunday. :)
