So, you're thinking of speaking at the 2025 Crochet Business Summit?
I am so glad you’re here! Scroll through this page to learn what we’re all about and why this experience will be so beneficial to you!
WHAT WE'RE ALL ABOUT
The vision for this event was birthed in 2020 when we had to make a last-minute pivot from our planned in-person Crochetpreneur Business Retreat to a virtual event. It was such a success that, in 2021, we transformed it into a full-scale summit featuring over 20 expert speakers. Since then, the Crochet Business Summit has grown into an annual event, welcoming over 30,000 attendees to learn, connect, and grow their crochet businesses.
In 2024, we hosted a 2-day in-person conference. While the event was a HUGE success, we recognized that the cost of attending meant that it was outside the reach of many makers. That’s why, in 2025, we’re returning to our virtual format—with two summits designed to bring expert strategies and inspiration to as many crochet business owners as possible. Our March summit will focus on helping sellers, designers, and service providers increase revenue and profits online.
Our mission is to empower crochet business owners worldwide with the tools, strategies, and community they need to build profitable, sustainable businesses. Join us in 2025 as a speaker and share your strategies and inspiration to our expected 8,000+ attendees.
This Summit is Like No Other
Our mission at Crochetpreneur® is to help 100,000 makers build financial freedom through crochet. The summit is one unique piece of our strategy to accomplish just that.
In fact, there are no other virtual summits out there focusing exclusively on helping crocheters to increase profitability. That’s why we’re able to attract such a large audience.
With an average of over 7,000 attendees each year, our speakers have grown their email lists, increased revenue, and established themselves as experts in the community.
At the same time, our attendees learned life-changing strategies for building a profit-making business they love. It’s a win/win for everyone!

Presentation Guidelines
We’ve carefully crafted presentation guidelines to ensure the summit is as valuable and impactful for attendees as it is for our speakers. We deeply appreciate your attention to these guidelines and your commitment to making this event an incredible experience for everyone involved. Thank you for your dedication and support!
Crochet Business Summit Presentation Guidelines
- Length: Presentations should be 15-25 minutes long, focusing on delivering quality content over quantity. We’re perfectly happy with shorter, value-packed presentations, so feel free to keep it concise! However, longer presentations that include unnecessary filler may need to be revised to ensure maximum impact for our attendees.
- Visuals: We encourage speakers to include a visual component, such as a slide deck or other engaging visuals. This helps keep viewers interested and enhances the overall experience. While your expertise is the highlight, adding visuals can make your message even more impactful!
- Introduction: We kindly ask that you keep your introduction to no more than a minute or two. Your expertise will shine through your teaching, and we want the majority of your presentation to focus on delivering valuable, educational content for the audience.
- Content: Your content should be actionable, leaving attendees with a clear understanding of the steps they can take to achieve their goals. This is your opportunity to showcase your expertise and provide them with practical, impactful guidance they can put into practice right away!
- Style: Please make your presentation VALUE FOCUSED and shy away from the webinar approach to presentations (which tend to leave viewers understanding they need to change something, but lacking the resources to make that change).
- Freebie: You’re welcome to share a free offer (such as a lead magnet or freebie) at the end of your presentation, but please keep it to 2-3 minutes max. Do not include paid offers in your presentation.
- Watermark: Please leave space for a Crochet Business Summit watermark to appear in the bottom right-hand corner of the screen.
- Examples of great presentations can be found by clicking Right Here and also Right Here.

This is a great way to build rapport with the community and ensure that your message packs value.

Yes, we ask for all speakers to participate in promotion. We work hard on the backend to make the summit as amazing for attendees and speakers as possible, and we ask our speakers to pitch in to that effort by providing a great presentation and sharing the event with their audience. The success of the event depends on everyone chipping in to promotional efforts. We are confident that you will see how valuable this summit is for attendees and that you’ll feel proud to share it with your audience.
