Virtual Schoolhouse is a one-day live Zoom event where shopowners spend the day discovering new products, tools, patterns, and programs they can confidently bring into their stores. As a presenter, you’ll deliver a 20-minute live presentation from your office, studio, or workspace—sharing product demos, launches, merchandising ideas, or teaching opportunities directly with an engaged retail audience. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- "Presenting at Schoolhouse was such a positive experience. FabShop was organized, supportive, and wonderful to work with from start to finish, and the shopowners in attendance were engaged, kind, and encouraging—both at the event and in the follow-up emails afterward. I’m so grateful for the connections made and would highly recommend this opportunity to others looking to connect with shopowners in a meaningful way." – Staci Wendland (Crafty Staci & Staci W Quilts) ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Presenter Packages & Pricing All Presenter options include: FabShop staff support before, during, and after the event Live session moderation and timekeeping Recorded sessions with replay access sent to registered shops Post-event attendee survey with opt-in contact information for follow-up ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Option 1: Virtual Schoolhouse Presenter - $199 Your foundation package to connect directly with shopowners.
