What do previous convention goers have to say about convention?
"No matter how much we love our studios, we all need a little break once in a while. Convention is the perfect getaway--you get a change of scene while discovering all kinds of wonderful things to make your own place even better, plus you find out what else is going on in the world of PYOP.
Even if you've been in the business for years, there are always new tips, tricks, and ideas to be learned. And it's great to spend a few days with people in the same business, who may even become good friends.
After all, how many others in your life really understand when you roll your eyes at someone who says, "What a great job you have--you just get to sit and paint all day!'"

"Convention is the one thing you can do to reap the most rewards in the shortest amount of time for the least amount of money. You will: learn new things, both business and technique; meet new people who will pull you through the tough times and celebrate with you in the happy times; and have an incredible few days away from your studio that will reenergize you for your return."
Martina Strehlow

"I have been to every CCSA convention since the beginning. I think it's extremely important to support our industry and association, and the convention is a big part of that. It's usually the only time of year we can meet our suppliers in person, and see new products for the coming year.
The show specials are a great motivation to plan my ordering and going always gives me a renewed energy for my business. I find that every year I learn something new and networking is a valuable tool as well. It's always fun to get together and talk to other studio owners and discuss shared experiences and ideas.
The auction is a really enjoyable part as well, and I'm proud of the contributions we as an industry have made to breast cancer awareness."
