RAVE REVIEWS/

Words from our guests and speakers/

Thank so much for the great experience on Monday, really, really well done. I learned quite a few new things from the seminars and the panelists and met so many wonderful women that I can now network with. AND…and most importantly I now feel I have direction and support in the next steps in making my business grow.

I had a great time.  Thank you for the opportunity, I met some wonderful women.  I would love to be included in future events.  Congratulations on such an uplifting and educating event.

I had the privilege of speaking at the Shop/08 Crave business panel on "Turning your Passion into Profit." Speaking to a full house (there were even seats on the sides of the room as more women signed up than there was room) was a thrill. Speaking to a group of female entrepreneurs was even better - contagious energy. The video below shows the view from the stage.

A fabulous conference that gave me the support I needed to pursue my dreams. I can't thank you enough for organizing such a useful and fun event.

What a great conference that was! Truly one of the best I've attended on any subject - and I've been to a LOT of conferences! Everyone was so well-spoken, thoughtful, knowledgeable and super-friendly; it really was a
great day. I was even trying to figure out how I could attend in Portland next week!

What a wonderful opportunity to spend time in the company of others who, as fellow entrepreneurs have experienced the same highs and lows as I have. If I could identify a common denominator amongst the attendees, I would have to say it is that we are a group of individuals who view the challenges of entrepreneurship not as obstacles to our success, but rather as the necessary exercises to prepare us for our success. And that is just the type of company I like to keep.

What a fantastic event- I had a great time, met valuable connections and was so inspired by all the knowledge, passion and creative energy in the room. You and your team did a wonderful job bringing it all together. Thank you!

Thank you! SHOP/08 was a wonderful and unique opportunity to get educated and inspired. As a real estate agent, the usual conferences I attend are full of the same old, same old. SHOP/08 provided a forum for me to generate new ideas about building my business and thinking outside the box.

 

I had the good fortune to be in a room with over 100 women for 8 hours - and I wanted to hear every one of their zany and inspirational stories. How often do you get to attend a conference where everyone in the room is an interesting person? Exactly.

I loved Shop 08. What a wonderful way to start with all of us introducing ourselves. The first 2 hours flew by. The converstations were very informative,the the breakout sessions were great. The themes were marketing and internet. I liked that it focused on just 2 parts of business. I actually came home and typed up 41/2 pages of notes to share with my business partner. Start up Junkie has set the bar for women's business classes! See you next time!
