About this episode
Today we'll chat QuiltnLearn with Bea Byrne! Between her career in tech/events and her love of textiles/quilting, Bea Byrne realized that organizing and hosting online conferences in the quilting world is her jam. Having planned knitting events in the UK, and toured around travellers to crafty spots when she lived in Japan, to her recent guild show committee work where she lives now in the USA, Bea has a passion for “if you build it they will come” with her online events. There were so many great takeaways from this episode about an event planner bringing together quilters in a way that welcomes everyone from those who want to purchase the VIP experience to those who want to binge watch the free event while it’s happening.
