Answers to all your burning questions...ok maybe most. We don't cover things like the meaning of existence here.
Spark is a 3 day conference for creative small business owners! This is an intentional time to spark new life into your business and make lasting connections with other creatives, all while learning from top industry leaders in the creative business world who can help take your business to the next level.
If you are a creative entrepreneur, Spark is for you. It doesn’t matter if you are full time, run a passion project or a side hustle. Our community is full of web designers, bloggers, photographers, marketers, and so many other creative small businesses! All of our attendees benefit from the wealth of knowledge presented on stage and in breakouts that directly relates to running a thriving business as a creative entrepreneur.
Spark is "a conference for Showit creatives,” but you do NOT have to have a Showit website in order to attend!
The registration ticket costs $699.
- Admittance to the 5 main sessions, and 6 breakout sessions
- Access to Spark Online for a limited time after the event to view all keynotes and breakouts
- Sunday night Welcome Mixer with light appetizers
- Lunch on Monday and Tuesday
- VIP option available
Lunch on Monday and Tuesday are included in your registration. If you need a full breakfast and coffee, there is a cafe (that ‘proudly brews’ Starbucks, but is not a Starbucks!) in the hotel that also provides a great take out breakfast option.
There are also a few restaurants and room service at the hotel. In addition, there are lots of restaurants a few short Uber minutes away from the hotel.
The conference is hosted at the beautiful Phoenix Marriott Resort Tempe at The Buttes and we have negotiated an amazing room rate for just $199/per night (+$15 resort fee per night +14.07% tax). The group rate is available from Oct 30th through November 10th for those coming earlier or staying after the conference is over. Your last chance to book at this rate is October 2nd, or when the hotel gets completely booked up.
*While there are many AirBnBs around Tempe, we have heard from many attendees who have chosen this option that they didn’t enjoy having to leave the fun at the hotel to go back and stay off-site, and then have to fight traffic to get back in the morning. The choice is obviously yours, and we are just happy that you are coming!
We recommend that you fly into Phoenix Sky Harbor on Sunday, November 6th, before 5pm. Registration starts in the late afternoon and at 6 PM we have our Welcome Mixer! The last session for United ends at noon on Wednesday. Many people try to get their flights for Wednesday, November 9th, in the evening but others choose to fly out Thursday and enjoy a relaxing evening at the resort with their new BFFs on Wednesday night.
