Last weekend was the Etsy Team Captains Summit in Bristol, and I got to go! Squeee!!!
It was an absolutely amazing weekend from start to finish and I met so many great people and learnt lots and lots. Honestly I was already a pretty big fan of etsy, It allowed me to get started, and it’s my go to for presents for friends, family and myself 🙂 but this weekend really proved that the company is behind us sellers and that they’re going to help us reach for the sky.
My team Cardiff and the Valleys is pretty new and we’re still getting it off the ground, but I’m lucky that I have Colin as a fellow leader; who also got to come to the conference, and a couple of other very very eager sellers that have been hounding me for information. There is lots to come, the whole thing is really very exciting, and if you’re an etsy seller in the area please join and message me for details asap, since we’re having a big meeting next Tuesday. If you’re an etsy seller elsewhere in the UK I 100% encourage you to get into the Teams forums and find your local team. This is going to be a very exciting year to be involved in Etsy UK, as a seller or as a spoilt for choice buyer.
So I’ll leave you with a few pictures from the weekend and enjoy the super long weekend everyone 🙂
