"2025 was our first year and it was AMAZING! Everybody was so welcoming, the classes were awesome and I got plenty of time during the expo. I love the morning gathering where everybody gets together and we all get pumped up! We got our tickets for this year as soon as they opened up sales! I can't wait!"

"I’ve purchased tickets to attend my third conference this year. I can’t wait! It’s always 100% worth the time and money. The best part is I’ve made some amazing friends who I communicate with daily about our businesses. I’m looking forward to another great conference!"
__

"This is a well-planned conference. This will be our third conference to attend this coming year. Great classes and vendors will be there. Don't forget to bring your pins to exchange with other attendees."
__

"This year will be my fourth conference. Every year it gets better and better. I’m all for YouTube University, but there’s nothing like getting hands on instruction from the leaders in the industry. Having your questions answered in real time is invaluable. But the best part is the camaraderie. I am so looking forward to seeing everybody! I’ve made such great connections and lifelong friends. The guest speakers are awesome and always leave us with an uplifting and positive message. Don’t even think about it. Just go."

"Mark & Will put on an amazing event! 2025 was my first time and plan to be there this year. From the general sessions, break out sessions and all the meeting of other like minded business owners it was the best experience! The collabs and networking was just what I needed to take things to the next level. A must attend for sure. Oh and the vendor room was great!🤩🫶🏼"

"Went to my first one in 2025 and it will be an annual business conference. I was amazed at how friendly and approachable every one was at the conference. It is definitely an environment of community and helping each other. The presenters and vendors were world class. Friendships were made and these connections are invaluable to your own success. It’s great to see the enthusiasm, but also for others to share their struggles getting to their to own level success. Don’t miss the opportunity!!"

"I have been to every single conference they have held and each and every event has made an impact on me personally and professionally!

The growth of these events has been fun to watch and can’t wait to see what this year’s event has in store! Keep it up, guys!"

"My husband and I have been to almost all of these conferences, and every single one has been worth it... What I didn’t expect was to walk away with some of the greatest friendships of my lifetime and a community that has supported me through the years- the ups and downs of life that at times made me want to step back. These people helped keep me going more times than I can count... Whether you’re an introvert, don’t know anyone, or just want some inspiration, I can’t recommend going enough. You might just find your people—because I know I did. ❤️"
__

"2025 was my first conference and I was amazed at how incredible the conference was! Will and Mark put together an all-star group of speakers plus the variety of sessions offered was extensive. My favorite part was how truly welcoming and kind all of the attendees were! As a new laser owner, everyone was more than willing to share knowledge and tips with me. I am so excited to attend this year’s conference!"
__

"The experience alone is worth the cost. Meeting like minded people gives you the affirmation you need to keep striving for your business or passion. This event sent me on a journey I would never have guessed."
__

"Last year was our first time attending. Such an amazing experience. We left feeling so empowered and gained so much knowledge."
__

"As an exhibitor, shows can become “routine”. The Next Level is NOT that show. This crew always picks a great location and never make it feel like you are being nickel and dimed. These people care as much about the exhibitors as they do their friends and it shows. I actually look forward to doing this show as the energy is amazing, atmosphere is electric and the crew is as selfless as they come. Attendees really get the bang for their buck with this one too!"
__

"As a vendor, this has become one of our go-to events every year. The attention the team puts in to all levels of the show from the speakers and content to the exhibition floor exceeds expectations. If you operate in a creative space, this show will have something for you."
__

"I’ve attended three Next Level events and each one gets better and better. The classes are hands on and allow attendees to learn at their own speed - whether that is slow or fast. The large group sessions are inspiring and motivational and we definitely leave primed to grow our business or hobby. Highly recommend!"
__

"Last year was my first time attending and I learned so much! I valued the multiple class options and the general sessions. Beyond learning I also gained so many new connections and I can’t wait to come back this year. In addition I found new products in the vendor room and was able to touch and feel things I had only seen online prior, and get to ask questions. Oh and I can’t forget to add that the food provided with my ticket was also really good too. I absolutely recommend going!"
__

"This has been the best conference to leave feeling motivated and confident in yourself and your business. We learned so much about the equipment, about good business practices, and made friends that we lean on for big decisions and advice. and that was just the first year we attended. The second year we attended, we left feeling so motivated that we doubled the amount of products and designs that we offered and have changed our business for the better! I would recommend this maker conference for the at home crafter to small businesses looking to expand their knowledge and learn the best trends."
__

"We have attended the last 2 years & CANNOT WAIT to attend this year as well. The knowledge, the camaraderie of being in a place with so many like-minded individuals who KNOW your joys along with your struggles, and just the sheer enthusiasm at these events have made them a MUST ATTEND yearly event for my business. The work that Mark and Will put into these events is endless & appreciated by so many of us. If there is one thing you should do for your business in 2026, it’s take the trip and get yourself to a conference. You won’t regret it."
__

"I've been to two of their events and they are Next Level. The events are top notch with every detail planned out. The main sessions are great and the breakouts are even better. It's the friends you'll meet who really make it worth it. And the vendor floor is the icing on the cake. It's always an incredible weekend."
