Update: If you missed the 2011 Etsy Success Symposium, scroll down to view some of the sessions recorded via Livestream. If you’re looking for more information about the Etsy Success Symposium happening on March 30, 2012, go here.
On February 8, 2011, here at the Etsy Labs in DUMBO, Brooklyn, New York, we’re holding a day of workshops for Etsy sellers and we hope you can join us. We’ve programmed the symposium to be the perfect end to 2011′s Shop Makeover series. If you can’t join us, don’t fret, this full day of workshops for creative entrepreneurs will broadcast live to the entire Etsy community.
Webcast Info: For those of you who can’t make it in person, we’ll be broadcasting via Livestream (instead of the Virtual Labs). You can check out the line up and view the workshops right on Etsy’s Livestream Channel. Or go to the Community page right here on Etsy where we’ve embedded the player and accompanying chat. To tune in, just press the play button on the video feed.
Our mission is to inspire and educate small business owners — Etsy sellers in particular — to take their company to the next level. We hope to connect attendees with motivating guest speakers while meeting and supporting one another. Prepare to find a new passion for your Etsy business, bolstered by support from fellow entrepreneurs, Etsy Admin and creative professionals in your community.
Get more details and your ticket in the Etsy Store!
Oh no! Tickets are sold out. Put your name on the waiting list.

I watched the whole event live and it's great too see I can go back to it anytime. I could've used all this info a year ago when I started. It is all very inspirational, such that I couldn't sleep last night, I've got so much work ahead of me! The selection of speakers was perfect. I am "Turbo Charged." Step #1: following April's advise and having my "dream goal picture" in a frame and taking it with me from my cutting table, to my sewing machine, to my computer (and maybe to my pillow at night!). Thank you Etsy Admin for a day well spent!

I watched most of the live feed and really appreciate all of the info. Thanks to all the behind the scenes people that pulled it all together. Unforunately, I was interupted during Vanessa's presentation. Any chance that will be posted somewhere? I'd reeeaaalllyyyy love to see it!!

It appears that first video with April Bowles-Olin doesn't seem to be working, or at least I can't get it to work. Have tried several times since it was posted, but no such luck.

Yeah, I can't get April's first webcast to work either. I hope we can access it soon. It's the one workshop I was most interested in but could not attend. Would LOVE to see it!! Go Etsy Team! You can get it running!

@Twisuka - I got a message from Vanessa about the video. They're dealing with Livestream to see if they can get it fixed. I'm breathless with anticipation. ;)

I tried to access the Attracting your Target Market video and it said it had been removed... Is there a way to watch it? I'm really interested in that video. Thanks!

This is awesome, but one of the video links doesn't work as it was removed from the livestream. Any idea if it will be back up? It's the first one listed, by April.
