Stationery Academy 2015 • Session I • New Orleans

WHAT IS THE STATIONERY ACADEMY?

The Stationery Academy is a branding and business conference for creatives in the stationery and gift industry. Join us for 3 days at the Hyatt French Quarter Hotel in New Orleans, Louisiana. We will begin at two o'clock on Sunday afternoon, followed by two full days of content and community, concluding on Tuesday with a farewell dinner.

Stationery Academy is designed to give you the information, knowledge, resources and tools you want to take your stationery business to the next level. It is a retreat-like event to re-focus and re-energize your business goals within a community of like-minded creatives and open hearts. This experience will help you find clarity in the dreams you have and guidance from our experts and your peers. Whether you are a traditional retailer, seasoned graphic designer, wholesale manufacturer, seasoned industry professional or just getting started, Stationery Academy can serve as a resource for continued education, industry knowledge, community and the latest trends in business and branding.

This year, based on feedback from previous attendees, we will be adding a half day to the event. This wil allow us to dive deeper into the content and create an environment for more small group and one-on-one sessions with attendees and speakers.

You will select the 3-roommate plan, you will be sharing a queen bed. Unless specific roommate requests are made, Stationery Academy will assign roommates for your convenience. ***Unfortunately, we cannot offer discounts on single room registrations.

No Local Tickets Available: Part of the experience of Stationery Academy is the “retreat” and bonding with the other 20 creative entrepreneurs that attend. In addition to the content, resources and education, the relationships you will create are invaluable! We have experimented having a rate without the hotel included and saw a significant difference in the experience of the women who didn’t stay in the hotel vs. those who did. We do offer payment plans for the regular rate to help with the investment. It is worth it to share a room and be able to continue the conversation after the sessions and dinners.

Please direct any questions through the contact form.

LOVE FROM ALUMNI

“Stationery Academy completely transformed my way of thinking – it shed a whole new light on how I should look at my

business.” Beth Hart, Beth Hart Designs

“The content at Stationery Academy really made me dig deep into my core, narrow down what was important to me in terms

of my goals, and in doing so gave me a clearer sense of myself, my brand, and my purpose. Attending Stationery Academy

also gave me access to an incredible community of fellow designers with an insane amount of talent and knowledge– the

community itself has been one of the most rewarding aspects of attending the conference.”

Jessica Bishop, Budget Savvy Bride and Jessica Bishop Paperie

“The swag was obviously so much fun, but the information and inspiration has already gone miles in our small group of

ladies in our first week back home. And the community we now have among each other is invaluable.”

Penny Sample, Write Away Stationery

“My first year at Stationery Academy was an eye-opener. I learned so much knowledge that I went home and applied it to my

business with immediate results. A year later, a year wiser and always seeking more knowledge and skills, I returned to

Stationery Academy as a featured speaker and as a “sophomore” attendee. Last year was all about building a foundation.This

year, I left Stationery Academy feeling nothing but determined about the path I know is ahead.”
