This episode is all about the one of my favorite annual Boutique Hub events, The Boutique Summit!
I talk about everything that’s happening at this year’s Boutique Summit and how you can be a part of it, as well as take you behind the scenes in terms of planning. Hopefully you’ll hear some helpful tips and tricks for putting on your next event!
As the largest conference for boutique owners outside of trade shows, The Boutique Summit is all about helping you grow your business. The 2023 Summit, taking place March 19-20 at Dallas Market Center, will not only include more than 16 breakout sessions fostering education and community but also the best lineup of speakers that I think we’ve ever had! I am so excited to welcome headliner Jenna Kutcher, a New York Times bestselling author and host of the No. 1 business marketing podcast Goal Digger — as well as boutique owner Karli Harris of Everyday Chic Boutique, Demin & Velvet’s Janzen Tew, Olivia Hopkins from Digital Boutique Co., Management One’s Director of Mentoring Paul Erickson and many more.
I hope you’ll join us at The Boutique Summit 2023 to hear from this amazing group of business owners and strategy specialists, connect with the Boutique Hub team, meet other boutique owners from across the country and learn how to take your business to the next level!
