Independent Newsmedia
The Pinners Conference returns to Scottsdale with crafts, workshops, shopping and more at West World, 16601 North Pima Road.
On Friday, Nov. 8 and Saturday, Nov. 9, there will be more than 100 classes taught by some of the nation’s top experts, influencers and creators as well as an entire shopping floor representing nearly 300 local and national brands.
Pinners combines two events in one as the conference not only has more than 100 Pinterest-based classes taught by experts, but a show featuring 300 top businesses in the worlds of DIY, crafts, cooking, self-improvement, photography, party planning, holiday, beauty and fashion, and more, according to a press release.
Founded in Salt Lake City in 2015, the concept quickly expanded across the country as Pinners is designed to inspire, save time and effort while shopping, improving skills and creating lasting memories.
“Our goal is to facilitate an inspiring experience,” says Roxanne Bennett, co-founder of the Pinners Conference with Kendall Bennett, in a prepared statement. “We hope our attendees leave feeling enlightened, encouraged, creative and happy.”
The Pinners Conference, which “brings the spirit of Pinterest to life,” helps guests to learn, create and connect through a series of workshops and opportunities for attendees to customize their experience while meeting other passionate crafters, experts, influencers and retailerst, the release said.
Class themes include beauty and fashion, home and décor, health and fitness, DIY and crafts, food arts, photography, party planning and more, with some of the nation’s top experts, influencers and creators leading sessions on popular trends.
Event hours are 10 a.m. to 8 p.m. Friday, Nov. 8, and 9 a.m. to 7 p.m. Saturday, Nov. 9. Admission tickets range from $10, which includes general admission with access to all exhibitors, shopping and make-and-takes; to $139 for a V.I.P pass, including VIP party the night before the show with swag and prizes, a two-day class pass, early shop times, full access to in-show VIP room with no wait times and more.
Other package options include a one-day expo with two-class pass at $19; one-day expo and all-class pass at $29 for up to six classes; and two-day expo with all-class pass at $49, including access to all exhibitors and shopping.
