We feel like little kids waiting for Christmas. The Southern C Summit is ALMOST here! We will be heading to Athens next Wednesday to spend a full day with some of the South's most influential and inspiring folks.

 "The Southern Coterie Summit Series is a live event designed to offer attendees the opportunity to network and develop business relationships, while engaging in meaningful conversations in an intimate setting. New friendships are formed among the South's most creative and talented entrepreneurs, business owners, bloggers of various niches, marketing, sales and media professionals."

The party starts bright and early with a networking breakfast and registration. Then it's off to the first seminar- "Everything I needed to know about building my brand, I learned from the Kardashians (Yes, Those Kardashians..)" The seminar is hosted by Shameeka Ayers from The Broke Socialite.

Then it's on to one of our favorite topics- finding happiness in your work- hosted by Alex Weir.

Theres a Food, Film, and TV session and a networking lunch before we hit the afternoon seminars. The Olsen Theory: Why the real brand is you with Jessica Nell Graves from the Love List is sure to be a hit!

Then there's the ever important goo goo cluster break. YUM!

Then it's back to the books for a series on staging for good photography- with beautyeveryday.com curators Kristen Back, Rebecca Wood and Rinne Allen.

An afternoon of swag bags and give-aways, we can handle that!

Of course it wouldn't be a good southern event if there wasn't a cocktail party! The night ends with 'Cocktails and Conversations' presented by Southern Living and Epting events at the Georgia Theatre. Crafted cocktails will be served while we enjoy a panel of the south's best chefs to be followed by live music.

Sounds like a pretty perfect day to us! We can't wait to mingle and meet some of our region's best!
