Two-Day Shopping and Workshop Extravaganza Returns to WestWorld

Pinners Conference and Expo

The Pinners Conference and Expo proudly celebrates its 5th Annual Arizona Pinners Conference, which returns to Arizona on Friday, November 12 and Saturday, 13. During the two-day event, Westworld of Scottsdale, located at 16601 North Pima Road, will come alive with online inspiration.

The extravaganza features more than 100 hands-on classes and more than 250 vendor shopping booths, providing attendees with the opportunity to develop new skills, shop the latest trends while supporting small businesses, and create finished projects of their own.

“Our vision of the Pinners Conference has continued to evolve as online inspiration does,” says Kendall Bennett, who co-founded the Pinners Conference and Expo with Roxanne Bennett. “We are pleased to partner with valued sponsors and vendors to create a comprehensive experience that is educational and fun — and that connects a community of like-minded people in a vibrant, welcoming environment.”

This year’s event sponsors include The Home Depot, Michaels, Dixie Belle Paint Company, Chalk Couture, Janome, Plaid Crafts, Craft HTV, and Makers Movement.

Kendall and Roxanne founded the Pinners Conference and Expo seven years ago in Salt Lake City with the idea to bring the spirit of Pinterest to life by inviting guests to learn, create and connect through a series of workshops and opportunities that empower them to customize their experience while connecting them with other passionate “DIYers,” creators, experts, influencers and retailers. Pinners has since expanded nationally with events in California, Georgia, Minnesota, Texas, and Arizona.

The Pinners Conference and Expo gathers some of the best brands under one roof, providing attendees with one-of-a-kind opportunities to meet with, and learn from, some of the most inspiring, creative women on the web including experts in DIY, home décor, food arts, fashion, beauty, self-improvement, sewing, party planning, photography and much more.

At the end of the event, attendees take home finished projects and new skills to improve their lifestyles and develop their personal advancement. The Pinners Conference serves as a place to create lasting memories, build relationships and empower guests to create without limitation.

Hours are 10:00 a.m. to 8:00 p.m. Friday, November 12 and 9:00 a.m. to 7:00 p.m. Saturday, November 13. Tickets start at $10 for general admission and includes shopping and booth make-and-take crafts. Children eight and younger are free. Individual class tickets include general admission; class materials are sold separately by presenters.

Pinners combines two events in one — a conference with more than 100 Pinterest-inspired classes taught by experts and a show featuring 300 top businesses in the worlds of DIY, crafts, cooking, self-improvement, photography, party planning, holiday, beauty and fashion, and more. The Pinners Conference and Expo is designed to inspire, save time and effort while shopping, improve skills and create lasting memories. Founded in Salt Lake City in 2015, the concept quickly expanded across the country, with Pinners in Ontario, California; Atlanta, Georgia; Dallas, Texas; Minneapolis, Minnesota; and Salt Lake City, Utah as well as Scottsdale, Arizona.
