Marketing & Communications

Presented by Women’s Health Magazine

Moderator: Liz Plosser, Women’s Health EIC

Panelists: Robin Berzen (Parsley Health founder), Sarah Larson Levey (Y7 founder), Candice Huffine (Day Won founder), Mia Kang (Influencer/Activist), Ally Love (LoveSquad founder, host of New York Brooklyn Nets) 

In this session designed specifically for entrepreneurs, psychotherapist Jenny C. Brice will teach you how to identify, prevent and heal from the dreaded burnout. You’ll learn how to perform a life satisfaction assessment, practice utilizing the FOCUSING method to cultivate internal awareness and create a personal self-care management and emergency plan for when burnout is approaching. Mental health is key to the success of you and you are the key to the success of your business—let Jenny help you thrive!

When you step into entrepreneurship, it’s easy to get caught in the comparison trap, believing that in order to be successful you have to follow in someone else’s footsteps. The truth is, your success and impact ultimately comes down to being a trailblazer—more specifically, being the REAL YOU. It’s in leading with unbridled authenticity that you become magnetic and gain the power to stand out from the crowd. The first step? Leveraging who you are to create a distinct personal brand. In this talk, Blair Badenhop teaches you three essential principles of branding: how to connect with your intuitive business vision, how to weave your story, style, and voice into your online presence, and how to cultivate what she calls “client woo-power.” If you’re the face of your brand, this session is for you.

A conversation about second chapters, pushing boundaries, and finding meaning. This keynote will not only explore Nastia’s success as an Olympic champion and entrepreneur, but also the years in between where she was faced with adversity, the unknown, and defeat.

In this interactive panel discussion the panelists will walk you through key digital marketing strategies to launch and grow your wellness company. This session is perfect for startup or early-stage companies that may not have the budget to outsource all of their digital needs to an agency. From setting up and optimizing your website to specific strategies for generating more sales and leads through digital marketing, this session is a start to finish tactical look at marketing your business.

Panelists: Izzy Sapien, Ksenia Avdulova, Lindsay Patton-Carson
Moderator: Jay Weeks

You have a message inside of you and you’re ready to share it with the world! As exciting as that is, figuring out where to start can feel overwhelming. In this informative session, you’ll learn the basics of how to define your message, nail down your target audience, and take those first steps toward finding and booking engagements. Come with your questions and get ready to ignite your speaking career!

Can you be a mission-driven brand and also make money? Of course you can and these entrepreneurs are proof. Join three entrepreneurs as they discuss the mission behind their brand and how they have used that mission to launch, grow and establish their wellness-oriented businesses.
