Welcome to Hobby to Pro - The Calligraphers Intensive
Before You Apply
Thank you for your interest in speaking at the Hobby to Side Hustle to Pro Summit.
We're looking for generous teachers who love helping calligraphers build their skills, confidence, and creative businesses.
Whether you're sharing a business strategy, a mindset shift, or a hands-on technique, our goal is simple: give attendees something they can use immediately.
What We're Looking For
We welcome two types of presentations:
Featured Session
A 45-minute pre-recorded presentation followed by a live Q&A during the summit.
Live Workshop
A 60-minute interactive session where attendees learn alongside you.
Our Philosophy
Teach first.
The speakers who see the biggest results are the ones who deliver the most value. We encourage you to keep self-promotion brief and focus on creating those "I can't wait to try this!" moments.
We'll make sure attendees know who you are, where to find you, and how to stay connected after your presentation. We also encourage every speaker to offer a free resource for VIP attendees to help grow your email list with engaged creatives.
A Collaborative Event
This summit grows because our speakers help spread the word.
If you have an email list, social following, podcast, YouTube channel, or community, we'd love for you to invite them to join you. The more we all share, the more artists we reach, and the more opportunities we create for every presenter.
You don't need a massive audience to apply. Great teachers come in every size. But if you've built an engaged community, we'd love to partner with you to make this the biggest and best summit yet.
We can't wait to learn more about you and your presentation idea.
Why Speak With Us?
This isn't just another online event.
It's a chance to connect with thousands of calligraphers who are actively investing in their craft and looking for their next teacher, class, book, membership, or creative breakthrough.
Your job is simple.
Teach generously. Share what you've learned. Leave people thinking...
"That was exactly what I needed."
We'll make sure attendees know who you are, where to find you, and how to stay connected after your session. We encourage every speaker to offer a free resource for VIP attendees, giving you the opportunity to grow your email list with people who already invest in learning.
The speakers who see the biggest results aren't always the ones with the largest audiences.
They're the ones who create the biggest "aha!" moments.
We're Building This Together
The best events aren't built by one organizer.
They're built by a community of people who believe in helping artists succeed.
If you have an email list, social media following, YouTube channel, podcast, Facebook group, or newsletter, we'd love for you to invite your audience to join you.
When you share the event:
- Your audience receives three days of world-class education for free.
- You strengthen your relationship with your community.
- More people discover your work, join your email list, and become future students or customers.
- Together, we introduce more artists to the possibilities of building a creative career.
You don't need a massive following to apply. Great teachers come in every size.
But if you've built an engaged community, we'd love your help spreading the word. The more people each of us brings to the table, the more valuable the experience becomes for everyone.
Our Favourite Kind of Speaker
We love presenters who are generous with their knowledge, excited to see other artists succeed, and genuinely invested in this community.
If you're the kind of person who celebrates other creatives, shares what you've learned, and believes there's room for all of us to thrive, you'll fit right in.
Let's help more calligraphers move from Hobby → Side Hustle → Professional. Together.
