Prime Publishing Co-Hosts VIP Networking Event at h+h americas
June 27 , 2022Northbrook, IL — Together with Koelnmesse Inc., Prime Publishing proudly co-hosted a VIP Networking Event at the first-ever h+h americas trade show in Rosemont, IL on Wednesday, June 22, 2022.
h+h americas is a new platform for the North American Handicraft Industry. It is an all-inclusive industry event uniting all types of handicrafts, and is open to anyone who makes a living in fiber arts, no matter what background or industry sector. The trade show was open June 22-24, 2022 at the Donald E. Stephens Convention & Conference Center in Rosemont.
Prime Publishing helped kick off the trade show with an exclusive networking event that took place directly on the exhibit show floor. It brought together top fiber and fabric influencers (including Heidi Gustad from HandsOccupied.com, Rebecca George from PurpleandLime.com, Laura Coia from SewVeryEasy, and more) with top fiber and fabric companies to network, mingle, and learn about their latest products. The event offered free drinks, appetizers, and plenty of room and time to network in a friendly and relaxed setting.
“The H+H Americas trade show provided excellent opportunities to connect with old and new colleagues in person and online. I look forward to attending in the future.” – Heidi Gustad, HandsOccupied.com
“This was such a fun event! I left feeling inspired with a renewed love of all things textile and sewing.” –Rebecca George, purpleandlime.com
“The most recent HHA show in Chicago was absolutely amazing! I enjoyed it so much, I have already scheduled to attend it next year. Hope to see you there, as it’s a show you don’t want to miss!” –Laura Coia, youtube.com/SewVeryEasy
After the show, Prime Publishing will host an “America’s Best” contest for influencers to design and submit original projects using the Sponsor products they receive at the show. All projects will be permanently hosted on FaveCrafts.com and featured in our free email newsletters and social media, and cash prizes will be awarded to the top 3 “America’s Best” projects, as voted on by readers.
Stay tuned for two post-show look books featuring products from Networking Event sponsors to be published later this year on FaveCrafts.com.
