7 Ways to Make the Most of Your Create & Cultivate Break
You come to be inspired, get that know-how, drink some killer cocktails, and make new friends. But the breaks are equally as amazing as the panels.
We can't believe that C & C Dallas is right around the corner. Last week we shared what we'd be bringing in our bag for the day, and today we're detailing how to make the most of the breaks in the day.
You come to be inspired, get that know-how, drink some killer cocktails, and make new friends. But the breaks are equally as amazing as the panels. From getting a makeup touchup to learning how to flat lay, be sure to check out these popups when onsite.
1. Snag an amazing IG moment in front of our big Dallas sign using #CreateCultivateDallas. We regram our favorites.
2. Bar III popup is hosting a Flat Lay Tutorial with Lauryn Evarts of The Skinny Confidential. If you've always wondered how to create this indispensable marketing tool, grab a drink and head over.
3. Stop by the Jergens Bar Rehydration Session with *we can't tell you quite yet,*but it's good, and oh-so-hydrating because you can't survive on coffee and cocktails.
4. There's a ribbon art installation that can't be missed. It's another Instagrammable photo opportunity that we'll be regramming.
5. We've got the exclusive! Who What Wear is giving you a peak at their new line with Target. Check out their lounge and be ready to oogle and aahhh this much awaited collection before it's available to shop at Target January 31st.
6. Look your best the whole day long. There are hair and makeup touch ups in the Beauty Lounge with beGlammed, Matrix, Fromm Beauty.
7. The Vaseline popup will live sketching with Katie Rodgers of Paper Fashion.
And when the day is over, join your fellow attendees for a celebratory cocktail, a snap in the Photo Booth, and grab an amazing gift bag before you head home to put into practice everything you've learned. Only t-minus 8 days 'til the big day!
The Conference Essentials: What's In Our Bag?
Preparing for Dallas? We can help.
It’s almost here! Create & Cultivate Dallas is going to be our biggest conference yet. If you’re prepping for the big day we wanted to share a sneak peak of what we bring— in case you need a little packing help.
Shoulder Bag/Backpack.
Make sure the purse you bring is big enough to hold your goods, but won’t weigh you down. Accounts Director Hope Evans says, “A cumbersome bag can actually get in your way more than you think. C & C is half listening half networking— and when you’re networking you want to be carrying something you don’t have to think about or track. The focus should be on relationship building, not lugging something to-and-fro.”
Vaseline Lip Therapy Tins.
It’s dry in Dallas in the winter and first impressions are crucial. A chapped lip is not your best look. The innovative and iconic Vaseline Lip Therapy Tins not only give you a natural, glossy shine, but also are clinically proven to help heal dry lips and give you moisture that lasts the day long. And C & C is a long day. Even C & C Founder Jaclyn Johnson makes sure to keep one in each of her handbags and at her desk.
Notebook.
There’s so much to do, see, and write-down. From scribbling down quotes from keynote speakers to sound biz advice, the notebook you take home might be chock-full of points that can take your brand to the next level. “You might think, ‘Oh, I’ll remember that,’” says Editorial Director Arianna Schioldager, “but there is so much good content, you should write down exactly what strikes you in a moment,.” (Pens are important too.)
iPhone + Charger.
Social Director Priscilla Castro says, “This is not the time to forget your phone or run out of battery, and while you might think this never happens, it does. Double check your bag before you leave your hotel.” From adding new contacts to all the IG gold— like a sketch done by Paper Fashion’s Katie Rodgers at the Vaseline pop-up during the 4:30-5:30 break. And be sure to #creatcultivatedallas #VaselineLipTins
Instant Film Camera.
Everyone loves those little photos. Plus, if you meet someone you like, snap a shot, and write your number and email on the back. Not only will they go home with a snapped memory, but it’s like a personalized business card.
