Annual Pinners Conference and Expo Returns to Arizona Nov. 8-9

Pinners Conference — the two-day experience that brings online inspiration to life through 120 creative, educational expert-led classes and a massive shopping exhibition with 300 vendor booths — returns to Arizona this fall. The event takes place at WestWorld of Scottsdale, located at 16601 N. Pima Rd., on Friday, Nov. 8 and Saturday, Nov. 9.

“We could not be more excited to return to Scottsdale and present the Arizona Pinners Conference to our many supporters,” said Kendall Bennett, who co-founded the event with Roxanne Bennett. “We look forward to seeing familiar faces and new ones, too, as we host our best Pinners yet with incredible vendors, shopping opportunities and so much more!”

In 2015,the Bennetts founded the Pinners Conference in Salt Lake City with the idea to bring the spirit of Pinterest to life. Through these events, guests are encouraged to learn, create and connect through workshops and opportunities that empower them to customize their experience while interacting with other passionate “DIYers,” creators, experts, influencers and retailers.

Bringing Pinterest to life was the initial impetus for this event; however, attendees don’t need to be on Pinterest to experience everything there is to see, do and take away from the Pinners Conference. There are endless opportunities throughout the course of the two-day experience for attendees to meet with, and learn from, some of the most influential and inspiring women on the internet. Pinners features experts in topics such as DIY, crafts, cooking, self-improvement, photography, party planning, scrapbooking, holiday, beauty and fashion, and much more.

During the event, guests can enhance and improve their skills across a range of niches, take home finished projects and leave with the knowledge to propel their personal advancement in a new capacity. Pinners serves as a place to create lasting memories, build relationships and empower guests to create without limitation.

Pinners Conference continues to bring some of the best brands together under one roof. This year’s event sponsors include Ryobi, Magnolia Design Co., FamilySearch, Makerflo Crafts, Experience Scottsdale and Mulqueen.

General admission tickets are $12 and include entry to the exhibition hall and shopping area. Attendance for kids ages eight and younger is free.
