The Lady Project Summit is sponsored by MOO, BUST magazine the Rhode Island Small Business Journal, PS&H WAVE (Women AdVocates for Enterprise), Visual Magnetics, Smart Creative Women, DCI and Jephry Floral Studio.
Start the day off at Firehouse 13 with a light breakfast and our kick-off keynote speaker, Debbie Stoller, co-founder and Editor-and-Chief of BUST magazine before we head into our first round of workshops at Anchor (right across the street). After two rounds, we’ll have lunch at F13 and hear Dr. Barbara Tannenabaum from Brown University give tips on persuasive communication.
After lunch, we’ll have two more rounds of workshops and a very special Lightening Round with super fun tips like “How to Make A Perfect Cocktail” with Jen Ferreia from Cook & Brown, the “Perfect Top Knot” by Lulu Locks of Suite Tart and yoga at your desk with Liz Guardia from Lululemon. Following the Lightening Round, we’re going to head on back to F13 for our final keynote speaker, Paya Saha from The Kati Roll Company. Then, we’ll celebrate and mingle for the rest of the evening with DJ La Rochelle, BUST and plenty of cocktails and apps! We can’t wait.
Fun activities between workshops include a special spa station by Alayne White Spa and headshots by PVD Lady Project photographer, Jen Brister from Brister Photo and a WAVE table with attorneys from PS&H WAVE where attendees can ask legal questions.
