The popularity of DIY craft has paved the way for dozens of indie
craft shows all over the country. What makes a show successful for
both vendors and attendees alike? How do you organize your show to
meet the needs of sponsors? Can you build a community and following
from your events? Meet seasoned organizers from popular west coast
craft shows (Bazaar Bizarre SF and Maker Faire, Crafty Wonderland and
Urban Craft Uprising) who have tackled these questions for their own
shows. Our small group discussions will enable you to get feedback on
how to start your first show or grow your existing event.
