A One-Day Event for Shopify Focused Professionals

Craft+Work

Friday 30th June 2023 9am ‐ 5pm — London UK


Craft+Work is an intimate one-day event designed to bring together founders, leaders, and experts from the Shopify ecosystem for a day of discussion, sharing, and peer learning focused on building better businesses.

As one of the 40 participants your day will consist of a mix of guest presenters, intimate roundtables, and group discussions. This isn't your average "sit and stare" event — instead, come prepared to get involved.

Themes will include culture, leadership, marketing, operations, partnerships and more. Come with an open mind and leave with a head full of ideas you can try in your business.

Key Themes

Shopify and its "ecosystem" has changed a lot over the last few years — you might even say it's grown up. What used to work no longer does, and the needs and wants of our clients are changing daily. It's hard to keep up, even harder to find and hire great talent, and then there's sales and marketing to consider.

It's time to sit down and assess where we are, share what we've observed, consider where the ecosystem is headed, and discuss the opportunities and challenges we'll face in the next 12 months.

The following themes will guide our time together (we may stray off-topic, but that's a good thing)!

  • State of the Ecosystem — Where is it and where is it going?
  • Leadership — How can we lead effectively and build cultures that our teams thrive in?
  • Marketing — How should we talk about what we do and who we do it for?
  • Operations — How can we serve our clients and customers more profitably?
  • Partnerships — Can we still leverage "partnerships" for growth in 2023?
  • Pricing — Fixed price, retainers, or value-based? What's working and what's not?

Who's it For?

Everyone is welcome, but you'll likely get the most from the day if you consider yourself one of these:

  • Founder — You run your own agency, consultancy, or Shopify-focused software business
  • Leader — You're heavily involved in the strategy and day-to-day running of a Shopify focused company
  • Expert — You are exceptional in your field and work primarily in the Shopify ecosystem

If you're not sure whether Craft+Work is a good fit for you please get in touch and we can work it out together.
