We’re adding a special segment to BevNET Live that entrepreneurs and brand builders won’t want to miss: Quentin Vennie, an author, activist and the founder of Equitea – and another very important, very secret special guest – will take the stage for a discussion on Self-Care as a marketing device and as a tool for survival.
The discussion will explore the ways that Self-Care is a part of the entrepreneurial environment – both as a core tenet for many brands, as well as a practice that can benefit entrepreneurs themselves. They will offer their understanding of wellness consumers and thoughts on ways that brands can work to connect with them, and also methods that founders can employ to approach the uncertainty and stress of the entrepreneurial world.
Because of the high-profile nature of the guest speaker – you’ll be surprised and delighted by what they have to share – this talk will be one of those rarities in the BevNET Live world: we’re only going to show it once, simultaneously on stage and on the Livestream, and then it’s getting locked away for good. So make sure you’re there to check it out at 10 a.m. PST!
Note the adjusted agenda here.
