LIMITED TIME ONLY! We'll be giving away three 2-night stays at YOTEL New York, our exclusive hotel partner. Purchase your tickets to Idealogue: Social Currency by August 27th to be entered to win. Winners will be notified on August 28th.

Idealogue 2017 explores Social Currency: how artists, entrepreneurs, brands and businesses stay relevant with constant disruption and invest in digital to drive economic and personal growth.

Join us as 18-time worldwide bestselling author and change agent Seth Godin opens Idealogue with both a keynote, open audience Q&A, and a challenge to stand out, not fit in. Marketing mavens, social stars and experts from both inside and outside our industry will offer their perspective, experiences, life and business hacks, and hard-earned lessons. Speakers below!

The Coterie is the EmpowHERment Project's first event to gather the beauty industry around a common goal: celebrating, supporting and equalizing the playing field for women in our industry.

What obstacles have you overcome and what wisdom can you share? How can we make mentorship meaningful? Who shaped and supported you along the way? What can you do to pay it forward? Join us in an intimate setting to hear the answers first-hand from some of our best, both behind and in front of the chair, who will reveal their successes, failures, and journeys for the greater good.

We'll honor three of our industry's brightest with awards for Ceiling Crasher, Frontliner, and Radgal.

WHEN: Idealogue on Sept 24-25; Coterie on Sept 26

WHO: Salon owners, stylists, friends of the industry.

WHAT: Two educational events created specifically to discuss the future of the beauty industry.

KEYNOTE & OPEN AUDIENCE Q&A: Seth Godin, best-selling author of 18 books about the post-industrial revolution, the way ideas spread, marketing, quitting, leadership and most of all, changing everything.
