SAINT PAUL, Minn.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Provo Craft, a national leader in home-crafting products, is sponsoring the second annual Creative Connection event, a national conference and market celebrating creative women and entrepreneurs, at the Crowne Plaza in Saint Paul, Minn., Sept. 15-17.
This year, Creative Connection has partnered with BlogHer, the largest community of women bloggers, as their official media partner. This strategic partnership will allow the event to bring together the creative process of handmade goods with the marketing savvy of business and social media.
The purpose of the event is to connect enterprising women with others who are passionate about the crafting arts, offering resources, helpful tools, and networking opportunities. The event will include classes, tutorials, panels, live demonstrations, and meet-and-greets with influential bloggers and craft-industry leaders. Provo Craft will be on-site to share new product offerings, including the Cricut Craft Room™, the Cricut Mini™ and the Cricut Expression® 2. Jinger Adams, Provo Craft’s official spokesperson, will be signing copies of the autumn 2011 issue of Where Women Create magazine, in which she was recently featured.
Drawing on the diverse experience of more than 100 industry experts, entrepreneurs, and authors, attendees will participate in hands-on workshops to take their craft to the next level. Guests will then learn how to turn their hobby into a business by participating in business panels that focus on the details of developing and marketing a business and how to use blogging and social media in an impactful way.
