Testimonials from Past Attendees:
“Last year’s event came just 4 months after I took over an embroidery business. Although I have attended many different kinds of shows and markets, it was at this event that I actually fell in love with embroidery. There was a fantastic variety of vendors and seminars that gave me a true wealth of information and products for my business in just 2 short days! It is definitely on my calendar to attend again this year!”
—Chris Castleberry

“Thank you all for doing such a wonderful job with the conference. We were really pleased with the depth and variety of topics, and the feeling that I was among professionals. Therefore, I am a PROFESSIONAL!”
—Jerri Dyke, Windmill Apparel & Embroidery

“I want to tell you how much I enjoyed the NNEP Network conference in Columbus. I had a GREAT time and met lots of people and learned so much important information. Thanks for such a GREAT time!”
—Marcina Kapusinski, Extreme Designs

"I would like to encourage everyone to go to the NNEP Conference in Ohio. I know the recession is hitting all of us hard, but the ideas, the confidence boosters, the opportunities and friends you make at the conference are invaluable. So many of us benefit from this exchange [NNEP member forum], it is even better in person. There is so much experience and advice available from our fellow embroiderers, so very much to learn and share!

My business partner Penny and I were so empowered by the conference. Learning new techniques to help with our new business, including how to properly price items, was so exciting. We made so many friends and came back to work thinking there was nothing we couldn't do.

We learned that we had amazing resources at the touch of a phone or an email. We have called NNEP and gotten so much support! We run into friends and contacts we met at the conference at other shows (like quilt market - hi Lorilyn!). It makes us feel like we are a part of a giant creative force that can make our business happen like so many other success stories.

We have avoided some mistakes due to talking to both new embroiderers as well as experienced ones, saving us money and heartburn. We also have some mistakes we've made that we will share this time, hopefully saving someone else money.

Coming to the Conference is truly a well spent investment in your business. You will go home empowered as well!"
Sincerely,
—Lynda Morgan, The Pink Stitchin' Chick of THE STITCHIN' CHICKS
