Announcing SNAP! 2013

We’re kicking off National Social Media Day a bit early…After receiving hundreds of emails, Facebook requests and Tweets, we are thrilled to announce the dates for the second annual SNAP! Conference for creative DIY bloggers.

SNAP! will take place April 18-20, 2013. We will be returning to Utah.

We’re excited to let you know that we:

    • will have MORE classroom space, including BIGGER rooms
    • will continue to provide attendees with the BEST food EVER (snacks, two lunches and three dinners)
    • worked with the hotel to INCREASE the number of rooms available and DECREASE the nightly rates
    • arranged for a HUGE discount on travel from the airport

Ticket Sales

Tickets for SNAP! 2013 will go on sale Tuesday, September 18, at 9:00 a.m. MST. A discount of $50 will be applied to the first 50 tickets sold with the code FIRST50.

  • Full conference tickets with first 50 discount will be $200
  • Full conference tickets at regular price will be $250
  • Full conference tickets will be $300 after December 18
Full conference tickets will include access to all panels and hands on workshops, snacks, two lunches and three dinners, along with several social events and parties.
We have decided to limit capacity at this year’s event and do expect to sale out early.
With conferences, like our friends over at Sewing Summit, selling out in a matter of hours and requests for SNAP! tickets in the hundreds, we do encourage you to plan on purchasing your tickets as soon as they go on sale.

Detailed Location and Hotel Information

We’re thrilled with the new space plans we’re working on and will be providing more information about the venue and hotel booking information mid-August.

In the meantime, please expect room rates to come in at about $100 per suite, including free in-room internet.

Call for Ideas and Speakers

Expect to see a call for ideas and speakers in mid-September. We will be looking for a wish-list of what you’d like to learn and what you’d like to share. Please keep in mind that we do hope to bring fresh faces to the table every year – a large percentage of our speakers will be new to SNAP!

If you’re planning to attend and have purchased a ticket that can increase your chance of speaking. If you have a ticket and are selected to speak, the full ticket price will be refunded to you.

    • Kristine, I will chime in with another Woot! So excited to finally be sharing this news. I’ve been holding it in for two months now and I am terrible at keeping secrets (as anyone who’s been around me at all the last two months can attest to).

      xoxo, Tauni

  3. Tauni~

    Enjoyed your session at Haven! SNAP! sounds wonderful……

    • Duane, Thanks so much for your sweet comment. I enjoyed attending and meeting everyone at Haven. Such fun. I only wish we all could have chatted more. I really felt like we just barely scratched the surface…Would love to have you out to SNAP! next spring if you can make it!

      xoxo, Tauni

  4. Tauni–is it Wednesday, Sept 19th or Tuesday, September 18th? I just want to mark my calendar and noticed that.

  5. THRILLED! Hope I can get there this year!!!

    • Myra, I hope we can get you out to SNAP! too. AND I wouldn’t mind meeting your cute little baby too. Remind me when your due date is??? I really wish I would have spent more time with you last week. Nevertheless, I have to say you are as darling in person as I expected.

      xoxo, Tauni

  6. YAY so excited!!! I will be there with rings on my fingers and bells on my toes and most likely chocolate lollies!!! LOL!!

    • I look forward to your chocolate lollies, Laura! Yum! :)
      Michele @ The Scrap Shoppe recently posted..Washi Tape StorageMy Profile

    • Laura, Those chocolate lollies were such a hit my got nabbed. I tell you what next year I will be shoving it in my mouth before anyone can sneak it away. LOL. Thank you for being such a great support and sharing the news of SNAP! on your blog! I feel lucky to have met you in Az a couple of years ago. You are simply wonderful.

      xoxo, Tauni

  7. This is gonna be amazing! I can’t wait!

  8. Beyond excited!!

  9. Shut UP!!! I’m so excited, Tauni! Putting this on the calendar ASAP. :)

    I can’t wait to see what’s in store for next year! If you need any help (even though I’m far away) I would be happy to oblige!
    Michele @ The Scrap Shoppe recently posted..Washi Tape StorageMy Profile

    • Michele, I have to tell you that your comments are the best ever. They make me happy every time I read them. I can’t think of a better way to help me out…Of course, now that you’ve offered I will definitely be keeping it in mind :)

      By the way, I am a little slow on getting packages out, but I finally popped that frame in the mail the other day. So sorry for the delay!

      xoxo, T.

  10. I have marked my calander! I came this year and my blog has already grown by leaps and bounds! It was all so inspiring!

    • Yay Katie! I am glad you are coming, but I am even happier to hear that you are having success with your blog. So happy for you!!!

      xoxo, Tauni

  11. Yay! I’ll have to figure out how to get registered from a cruise ship in Alaska though.

    • WHA?! A cruise ship in Alaska, how fun is that?! If it comes down to the wire and we need to make special arrangements let me know. I don’t want you to miss out on your ticket!

      xoxo, Tauni

  12. Hmm… Sounds very interesting

  13. My husband now thinks I’m crazy after doing the excited dance all around the house! I seriously can’t wait, it’s going to be so amazing! We will be buying our tickets right at 9! Tauni, we would love to help any way we can!

  14. I can’t wait! I had such a fabulous time at the first one. Since I’m local- I opted to go home each night. BIG mistake! This time I’ll plan to stay in the hotel so I can get all the great social benefits- I missed some of the fun. If you’re local and planning to go- plan to stay at the hotel if you can!

    So that’s 10am CST (8am PST/11am EST) just so I am not mistaken?

But I’m going to try my hardest to not be late to the ticket-buying game because this girl loves a discount!!! Seriously, Haven was my first conference and now I’m already going to BlogHer and looking for more! Let me know if you need any help with Snap! If I could tell my hubby that I was the official envelope stuffer or something then he would have to agree that I must go!! Thanks so much for all your work to make this happen!

  38. Hi, Tauni!

    I have a quick question for you (and any of last year’s attendees that might want to chime in). I shut down my blog and was wondering if you think this conference would be a good fit for someone who sells handmade, but doesn’t blog. What “benefits” (for lack of a better word) could a business owner expect? Are there workshops, lectures, etc. geared toward selling or would you say it’s mostly blogging?

    Thanks!

    -Cath
    Catherine recently posted..Footprint Jewelry – Little Sterling Silver Stud Earrings by CatherineMarissaMy Profile

    • Catherine, I am not sure if this will help, but I am going to tell you what I think…

      SNAP! is a social media and blogging conference, so most of the classes are geared toward blogging. Having said that, you could probably benefit from photography, photo styling, branding, FB and Twitter, etc. and the knowledge you could gain from asking other handmade business owners questions in person.

      Truthfully though if you came, I believe the biggest benefit to you would be all the networking you would be able to do with bloggers – the best people to help get the word out about your product (besides you).

      Does that help?

      xoxo, Tauni

  39. Oh boy, oh boy, oh boy, I’m so excited…. I’m definitely going to be stalking registration come September 18.:) This is one conference that is most likely going on my agenda for next year. Trying to limit conference travel and really shake things up with a couple different venues…. but SNAP 2012 was such a great experience that I can’t imagine not coming in 2013.:)

    • Wow. Thanks for your sweet words my friend. I will be limiting my conference travel next year as well, but I do hope to see you! xoxo Tauni

  40. Woohoo! So excited to have the dates this far in advance. Spring Break belongs to me this year and the Grandparents will be home from the Mish so I can be kid free! Time to start rounding up a SoCal carpool :)

    Deneen recently posted..Free Halloween DecorationsMy Profile

    • Deneen, We’re excited to have you! We sold out so quickly, there are are more than 150 people on the wait list. I am trying to do a bit of shuffling to fit them in and will be sending more details once that is settled. You can expect to hear about the event about once a month via email.

      xoxo, Tauni

  44. So When I log on to sign up, I am put on a waiting list!

    Have I missed my chance to join in on the conference? What is the likelihood of more spots opening up? I JUST heard about this conference this weekend!

    • Lindsay, Amazingly our tickets sold out in just a few hours. Please add your name to the wait list. I am doing everything I can to try and figure something out. xoxo, Tauni

  45. QBM this year? I did the show in Carlsbad this Dec. and I loved it!

  46. Chelsea says:

    Could you let me know where I can get on a waiting list for SNAP? Also, when are the dates typically announced for the next SNAP?

    • Chelsea, Unfortunately we are over booked for our 2013 event and are no longer able to take names for the wait list. We anticipate announcing 2014 dates in June and tickets should go on sale in September. This year tickets sold out in four hours, be sure to check in and register early! Thanks! Tauni
