Hey, Tech Savvy Self-Starters! Here's What to Expect at Our Money Moves Digital Summit

Photo: Angelica Marie Photography

One word we've heard a lot over the last few weeks is PIVOT! The world has changed, the way we do business has changed, and now, more than ever, we need to come together as a community. We’ve been spending a lot of time at Create & Cultivate brainstorming ways we can show up and support you during this uncertain time. Community is at our core, and connecting with others through one-of-a-kind experiences is what we love to do. 

And while the world has changed, our mission has not. We’re committed to helping women create and cultivate the career of their dreams, which is why we’re proud to host Money Moves Summit, our first-ever digital conference to help small business owners build, grow, and pivot in the new normal. We always bring our A-game but our lineup is stacked—Chelsea Handler is taking the virtual stage to buoy our spirits and get real about her career highs and lows, staying positive in a pandemic, and why humor is the best coping mechanism. You don’t want to miss this one! 

Read on to discover everything we have in store for this jam-packed day and get your ticket ASAP!

THE DATE

Saturday, May 2nd, 2020

TUNE IN FROM HOME

First things first! On the morning of the summit, Saturday, May 2nd, an email with your link and password to access the exclusive Money Moves Summit site will be waiting in your inbox. 

Money Moves Summit is made up of pre-recorded video sessions and live video sessions that will be hosted via Zoom. We recommend that you have a strong WiFi connection and find a comfortable place to tune in from home. Money Moves is optimized for desktop, so it is best viewed via a computer or laptop, rather than a tablet or phone.

While the live content is specifically designed to be watched in real-time, you’ll be able to access and view it for 72 hours after the event (Insiders, you have all-access even after the 72-hour cutoff!).

C&C INSIDERS’ PERKS

Our Insiders get a ton of perks at all our events—and our Money Moves Summit is no exception. As an Insider, you get free admission to our Money Moves Summit and you’ll have access to all of the panels and keynotes after the 72-hour cutoff via your C&C Insiders dashboard

Not an insider yet? Well, don’t miss out—you can sign up here

THINGS TO PREP AHEAD OF TIME

Here are a few things to prep before the big day so it goes off without a hitch:

  • Install Zoom on your desktop computer or laptop and test it out

    • Zoom tips:

      • Find a quiet place to tune in. Try to situate yourself in a small room that does not have an echo. 

        • Try and stay away from noisy electronics and silence your cell phone and computer notifications

      • When possible, limit your internet connection to solely the device you’re using for the Zoom conference.

        • Set your phone to airplane mode, pause your television connection, ask others in your home to pause anything that may require a strong internet connection, etc. 

  • Make sure you have a strong WiFi connection.

  • Download the workshop downloads so you can follow along with the expert. Your exclusive workshop downloads will be available on Saturday, May 2. Be sure to download them ahead of the workshops so you can follow along in real-time.

  • Grab a notebook and a pen—and keep your headphones handy just in case your roommate has other plans for the day!

  • Jot down any questions you have for the live workshops and mentor sessions.

  • Set aside your athletic gear and your mat (or towel) and fill up your water bottle for our morning moves session with Melissa Wood Health. (No equipment needed!)

  • Gather the ingredients for the happy hour cocktail workshop. (Recipe in the section below!)

THE SCHEDULE

Money Moves Summit is built just like our in-person conferences, which, of course, you all know and love. We have a stacked schedule with an A-list line-up of speakers, so we suggest taking notes along the way. 

Want the full lineup? Check out the play-by-play schedule to map out your big day. It’s going to be HUGE so we recommend getting a head start on planning out your day now.

Experts:

Recipe: Pink Grapefruit and Chamomile Palomas from Floral Libations by Cassie Winslow

Makes 1 Cocktail

Ingredients:

½ tsp Rose Salt (recipe below) or coarse salt

1 lime or grapefruit wedge

Ice Cubes

¼ cup [60 ml] fresh Ruby Red grapefruit juice

2 Tbsp Chamomile Simple Syrup (recipe below)

¼ cup [60 ml] tequila

Splash of soda water

½ tsp freshly grated orange zest

Fresh organic chamomile flowers for garnish (optional)

1 grapefruit slice for garnish (optional)

Rose Salt

Makes approximately ¾ cup [5 g]

Ingredients:

¼ cup [5 g] dried rose petals

½ cup [100 g] fine sea salt

Directions:

In a food processor or spice grinder, grind the rose petals for about 10 seconds until the rose petals resemble small flakes. Be sure not to grind them into a powder.

In a small bowl, stir together the salt and rose petals. For optimal flavor, wait about 1 week before use. Store in an airtight container at room temperature for about 1 year.

Chamomile Simple Syrup

Makes approximately 1 cup [240 ml]

Ingredients:

1 Tbsp dried chamomile flowers (or 1 bag chamomile tea)

1 cup [200 g] cane sugar

½ cup [120 ml] filtered water

Directions:

In a saucepan, stir together chamomile flowers or 1 tea bag, sugar, and water, and cook over medium heat. Simmer until the sugar has completely dissolved and the mixture has thickened into a syrup, about 5 minutes. Remove from heat and allow to cool.

Strain the mixture through a fine-mesh sieve set over a bowl, then transfer to an airtight container. Store in the refrigerator for up to 1 week.

Recipe: Frozen Strawberry Margaritas from A Cozy Kitchen by Adrianna Adarme

Serves 2  

Ingredients:

1/4 cup water 

1/4 cup granulated sugar  

Kosher salt, for rim 

6-8 ounces tequila blanco 

2 ounces triple sec  

2 ounces lime juice  

2 cups frozen strawberries 

1 cup ice  

Directions:

In a small saucepan, set over medium heat, add the water and sugar. Mix and warm until the sugar has dissolved. Remove from the heat and allow it to cool, about 5 minutes. 

Add about 2 to 3 tablespoons kosher salt to a shallow plate. Run a lime wedge around the rim of both of your glasses. And then dip them in the salt and set aside. 

In a blender, add the simple syrup, tequila blanco, triple sec, lime juice, frozen strawberries and ice. Blend until smooth, about 1 minute. Divide amongst the two glasses and serve. 

Recipe Notes: 

Tequila: Use 6 ounces of tequila if you’re a lightweight and don’t love the flavor of tequila. If you’re a tequila lover, use 8 ounces in this recipe. 

Strawberries: You can use fresh strawberries if you like. Freeze them on a baking sheet for at least 2 hours. And then you can transfer them to a freezer-safe bag/container until you’re ready to use them.
