I’m wicked excited. Why am I wicked excited you ask? Because today I am sharing with you a fantastic, impactful, valuable, fun, engaging, mind blowing event that is happening next month in good old Manhattan. Let’s talk about the Live Smart Series.
For those of you who don’t know, The Smart Girls Group is an awesome hub of activity including a digital magazine, blog, online classes, and community dedicated to helping young women discover and harness their smarts. They believe that a smart girl is “her own kind of smart, passionate, focused on her goals, knows ambition is not a dirty word, and supports her fellow sisters in all they strive for.” I don’t know about you, but that is exactly the kind of person I want to be.
So what is this event that I am so excited to share? It’s the Live Smart Series and Digital Influencers Conference. On July 10th, 11th, and 12th The Smart Girls Group is hosting their second annual conference in NYC including panels, small group discussions, activities and more about how to live a smart life and be a digital trail blazer all lead by successful, talented women from various industries. I’m telling you right now, the list of speakers is absolutely inspiring. I mean, just check out some of this talent:
