Speaker promotions begin on Wednesday, Feb 25th.
You can find all the resources you need to schedule your promotions here.
As a summit speaker, you’re also invited to join us for the post-summit launch of the Crochetpreneur Business Academy! The launch takes place March 13th (after 1PM Eastern) through 11:59PM Eastern March 17.
Promotion assets will be available Feb 1.
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.
That 2-day virtual event 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, having welcomed over 35,000 attendees to learn, connect, and grow their crochet businesses.
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 2026 as a speaker and share your strategies and inspiration to our expected 8,000+ attendees.
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!
The event will take place Wednesday, March 11 – Friday, March 13, 2026.
We will feature 16+ vetted speakers in the areas of crochet and online business.
Based on past events, we expect over 8,000 crochet business owners to attend the event.
Many of our attendees are new or veteran product sellers looking to hone their skills at sales, product development, and marketing.
Designers love to attend the summit to learn new ways of growing their audience and maximizing profits.
Virtual assistants, tech editors, and coaches attend the event in hopes of learning new strategies for connecting to their audience.
Speaking at the Crochet Business Summit will be well worth your time…past speakers have loved it!
Looking to build authority? Delivering a 15-25 minute presentation at this niche summit can position you as a go-to voice in the industry.
Previous summit speakers have expanded their audience by hundreds, and in some cases, by thousands of highly engaged, qualified leads. This could be your opportunity to do the same!
Our welcoming and supportive culture encourages speakers to connect with other industry experts and the broader community in a casual and fun way. Participating in this summit could open doors to collaborations like joint ventures, podcast interviews, future speaking engagements, and more.
The Crochet Business Summit offers an incredible opportunity to earn while you share your expertise. As a speaker, you’ll earn a guaranteed stipend, gain access to our affiliate program, and have opportunities for additional income through bonus monetization.
Many of our past speakers have earned over $1,000 simply by using our ready-made marketing materials to share on social media and through their email lists. It’s an easy and rewarding way to grow your influence and your income!
The Crochet Business Summit is free to attend, but attendees have the option to upgrade their experience. After securing their free ticket, they can choose to purchase from two tiers of upsells: The All-Access Pass (summit session replays and transcripts) or the Crochet Biz Power Bundle (everything in the All-Access Pass plus small-group live summit networking, coaching, and co-working sessions and additional bonuses contributed by speakers and marketing partners).
As a speaker, you’ll register as an affiliate. Then, when you promote the summit using your unique affiliate link, you’ll earn a 30% commission on every sale made through your referral—plus, enjoy a higher, 40% commission rate if you contribute to the bundle!
Each year, we pay out thousands of dollars in commissions to our summit speakers. With an average customer order value of $66, speakers earned an average commission of $23 per sale.
Additionally, with the right audience alignment and promotional strategy, commissions can easily climb into the four-figure range when you factor in post-summit sales of our signature course, the Crochetpreneur Business Academy.
The All-Access Pass and Crochet Biz Power Bundle are offered using a three-tier pricing structure:
All-Access Pass
Crochet Biz Power Bundle
