Doors to the conference at Anchor Rock Club, (247 S. New York Ave, Atlantic City) open at 12:00 PM. We begin immediately at 12:30pm. Seriously, Leslie is a stickler for timing. Don't be late.
Come curious. Come open. Come willing to participate.
We'll spend the afternoon talking about visibility, interviews, messaging, revenue, offers, authority, and building a business people remember. The evening wraps up with a DJ Dance Party beginning at 8:00 PM back at Anchor Rock Club.
Thursday, August 13 | Arrive Ready to Be Photographed
Morning Movement returns at 8:45 AM at Steel Pier before we head into our biggest media day.
Doors to the conference open at 12:00 PM again at Anchor Rock Club.
Thursday is all about creating assets. Arrive dressed and ready to be photographed. Expect paparazzi-style entrances, red carpet moments, professional photography, video, interviews, and content you'll continue using long after the conference ends.
Food & Experiences
Please eat before arriving each day and pack a few snacks if you know you'll need them. Midway through the afternoon, we'll be serving heavy charcuterie generously provided by SJ Simply Grazing. and a cold brew bar by Pretty Cool Cold Coffee Drinks. It's the perfect opportunity to recharge, explore the marketplace, and continue connecting with fellow attendees before we end for the day and you go to dinner.
You'll also have the opportunity to experience several activations throughout the conference:
Intuitive Card Readings with Carly Melchert, founder of The Restored Soul.
Eonian Skincare Experience with founder Danielle Reuss, where you can explore the brand and learn more about her luxurious skincare line.
The Make Your Own Merch Bar with Lori Lopez of LL Vinyl & Co., where you'll create your own custom Everyday Celebrity apparel to take home.
Style Guide
I'm going to be the first to say it: I hate dress codes at conferences.
Loathe them.
I'm not interested in telling someone else how they should dress to feel their most confident, and I certainly don't enjoy someone doing it to me. That being said, I know deciding what to wear can take up way too much brain space, so I wanted to make it a little easier.
Wednesday: Think comfortable, polished, and camera-ready. This is the day I'd reach for denim, fun prints, great sneakers, and pieces that feel relaxed while still looking intentional.
Thursday: Lean a little more elevated.
The reason you'll see a lot of black and white in the inspiration guide is simple: the photos and videos you leave with should feel timeless. Clean. Versatile. Polished. Stylish.
The best style advice I can give you isn't about trends. It's about paying attention to yourself.
Look through your closet and notice what makes you feel amazing. Is there a certain silhouette? Color? Fabric? Print?
Build your personal brand around those patterns instead of copying someone else's.
Notice there aren't any blazers in my style guide. If blazers are your thing, wear the blazer. If they're not, don't wear one just because the internet told you entrepreneurs should.
Wear what makes you recognizable.
