Turn your shop into a destination. A well-run retreat, whether it's a weekend knitting getaway or a multi-day quilting escape, gives customers something they can't get from a single transaction: uninterrupted time to finish projects they love, forge real friendships, and fall deeper in love with your shop. The result? Stronger community, repeat business, and customers who become your biggest advocates.

In this session, a panel of shop owners who've built successful retreat programs will share what actually works, from planning logistics and pricing to creating the kind of distraction-free environment that keeps customers coming back year after year.
