1:15-2:15pm | Opening Session: Stop. Reflect. Act. | Speaker: Shannon Vogel, Founder and Owner at Reach Social
Find your voice. Bring your authentic self. Step out of the lines. All great advice, if only those external (and internal) forces challenging your empowerment weren’t constant and relentless. This session is one part pep talk to give the internal fortitude to trust your instinct, another part permission slip to break the rules, and last part grace to accept failure, good tries, and never quitting.

Session: The Metaverse: Online Experiences Translated to Real-World Dollars | Speaker: Leslie Carothers, Principal of Savour Partnership
There has been so much hype built around the metaverse with little to actually show for it with the exception of the gaming industry. Still, venture capital investment into the metaverse is projected to grow to $5 trillion so there is abundant opportunity on the horizon. You will learn what the metaverse is and isn’t, capture the early business potential in Millennial and GenZ shoppers (the #1 metaverse activity they request is shopping), and taking the 2D assets you already possess to transform into 3D - without huge investment.
