Flourish Media Conference 2020 Recap
Flourish Media Conference 2020 (FMC) was brought to you by Behind the Leaf 501(c)(3)
This past weekend we celebrated the 4th annual women’s conference and partnered with Capital One and Ampersand Studios to bring more business partnerships and funding opportunities for women entrepreneurs and business owners.
FMC's theme for 2020 is to "Take Action" boldly. Women are tirelessly fed the "fluff" side of running and owning a business. How many times have you left a conference feeling inspired, but have no idea what to do next? What if you were given the keys to success without the stereotypes of being a woman in business? Taking action and executing decisions on the stories, dreams, visions, passions, and abilities we have is our 2020 goal. We strive to show women how to move like a boss, make critical strategic decisions, and to build their network.
Our two-day conference was held February 21-22, 2020. It has grown significantly and continues its mission to share the tools and strategies to build engaging business platforms, leverage online engagement for offline results, and create sustainable company & brand models. Our attendees walked away with the knowledge necessary to develop dynamic branding strategies appealing to mass digital audiences and third-party investors. Our curated collective of speakers share expertise in Product Businesses, Service Businesses, Social Media Marketing & Business Finance.
We enjoyed a weekend filled with various topics and activities such as Brand Building Brunch, Pitch Conversations, Communications, Getting Accountable, How To Leverage Income, Stepping Out of The Perfection Closet, and so much more!
Capital One/Capital One Cafe was our title sponsor this year! We love the resources they provide to better equip women in business. Along with them, a few other sponsors were:
12 Skies Peach
Panda Pod
Unlikely Creative
One thing you can ALWAYS expect from Flourish Media Conference is a true sense of sisterhood! Together we build community, lift each other, share genuine love and accountability, empower each other to keep going, and most importantly to TAKE ACTION!
