Summit of Awesome 2009

Summit of Awesome 2009
May 1-3
Washington, D.C.

The first ever SOLD OUT Summit of Awesome took place in Mid City, Washington, D.C. Located near downtown, Mid City is home to some of the best independent shops and mom & pop restaurants in D.C., which made the area a perfect host for this event. With our base in the huge home furnishings mecca/theater that is Miss Pixie’s, attendees could take free bike taxi rides to all the Summit locations.

With more than 30 business seminars, the shopping feast that was the Show of Awesome. hands-on workshops such as embroidery, sewing 101, screen printing, and casting demos, and two showings of Handmade Nation, the Summit of Awesome 2009 was just as fun as it was inspiring.
