Sunday at the Summit

Sunday Panels & Pretty Useful Co.

Sunday morning at the summit starts off with coffee and conversation followed by keynote speakers, Allie Mounce and Claire Freeman of Pretty Useful Co. Allie and Clare will be talking about navigating your online presence and finding your brand without losing your soul. 

Following their  talk, we have breakout sessions that are book-ended by some amazing panels. 

The first Sunday panel is “Intentional Allyship Through Resources, Vendors, Partnerships, and Networking”. Moderator Jasmine Newton of Javon Renee Portraits will lead a conversation with Damon Rawls (The Innovation Digital Agency), Adrian Hall (Movement Mortgage), Mary Thom Adams (Spark), Claudia Caballero (Centro Hispano de East Tennessee) and Dr. Angelique Adams (Angelique Adams Media Solutions, LLC). They will be tackling  what intentional allyship means, issues in different fields regarding minorities, the hard conversations we need to have in business, and more. 

The second panel, an inspirational end to our weekend of education, connection, and innovation is called “Make the Journey”. Moderator Jalynn Baker of Jalynn Baker Photography/100 Knox/KEC/Dogwood Arts will be speaking with Curtis Glover (Curtis Glover Creative), Marcus Hall (Marc Nelson Denim), and  Eugenia Almeida (A New Hue) about mile markers in their journeys, plot-twists, mentality, motivation, and process. 

These are conversations you don’t want to miss!
