THE CRAFTCATION AMBASSADOR HUB

Welcome, Craftcation Ambassadors!

 

You are the reason someone will say, “Craftcation changed my life.”

 

Craftcation was created to be a place where creatives feel inspired, supported, and truly seen—and as an ambassador, you help bring that vision to life. You’re not just spreading the word about an event you love; you’re creating space for connection, encouragement, and belonging.

 

Whether you’re a first-time ambassador or a returning pro, we’re so glad you’re here. This hub is your go-to for everything you need to support our community and stay connected as we gear up for the magic ahead.

 

Let’s do this—together.

 

—Nicole & Lisa (Your Craftcation Ambassador Team)

 

GENERAL AMBASSADOR DUTIES

You’re a Beacon of Craftcation—Online, In Person & Beyond

 

As an alum, you know how special this community is—and how powerful it is to feel truly welcomed.

 

While first-time attendees can feel overwhelmed, they’re not the only ones who might need a friendly face. Many in our community are introverted, quiet, or neurodivergent—and may not feel comfortable starting conversations or jumping into new spaces. That’s where you come in.

 

Your role is to be a Craftcation “camp counselor”—a supportive, positive presence before, during, and after the conference. This might look like:

 

  • Answering questions or offering a listening ear

  • Pointing someone in the right direction

  • Introducing folks to new friends

  • Lending a hand to presenters

  • Or simply noticing when someone could use a check-in

We’ve outlined your ambassador responsibilities below, but at the core, it’s about this: showing up with heart. You’ve felt the magic—now you get to help someone else feel it too.

WHAT’S NEXT?

We’ve broken everything down for you below in the Hub, but here’s a quick and easy checklist to help you see what’s coming up next. Think of it as your handy guide to stay on track without the overwhelm!
