Jewelry Business Forum FAQs
This digital jewelry conference series is created to empower small jewelry business owners. Attendees will receive professional development in marketing and business skills while being inspired in the studio. Halstead hosts jewelry making events throughout the year to help small jewelry business owners navigate entrepreneurship.
We use Zoom Events as the platform for our online conference events. Once you register, you will receive emails directly from Zoom regarding event access. Your ticket allows you to access the digital lobby on the day the event launches.
Using Zoom Events:
- You will be able to register for the conference as a guest if you don’t want to make a Zoom account, but chat and networking features will be limited if you register as a guest
- Sessions can be viewed on a computer, tablet, or phone. You are not required to download the Zoom app, you will have the option to watch on the web browser
- After entering your registration information, you will confirm your ticket purchase
- You will receive a confirmation email when you’ve registered with a link to the lobby. You will also receive an email an hour before each day’s first session starts
- For the best experience, use a tethered PC computer instead of WiFi or Mobile Data access. Video streaming requires a large amount of bandwidth.
