Let’s all do a breathing exercise: Close your eyes. Breathe in. Breathe out. Now visualize a beautiful blue sky, crystal-clear waters, warm breezes, and stretches of white sandy beaches. Breathe in. Breathe out. Don’t you feel calmer already?

Well, you will actually be able to experience those beautiful scenes and achieve that feeling of calm IRL if you register for the 2024 Women in Retail Leadership Summit, taking place April 29-May 1, 2024 on beautiful Amelia Island in Florida at the luxurious Ritz-Carlton. Beginning today, registration is open to all!

Every year the Summit sells out, and this year — when we celebrate 10 YEARS together as a community — will be no different. We’ll have fabulous and inspiring keynote speakers, phenomenal and unique networking opportunities, new breakout sessions focusing on leadership, and, of course, a few fun surprises. We already have a slew of amazing speakers lined up, including:

  • Sharon Price John, CEO, Build-A-Bear Workshop
  • Jacqueline Ardrey, President, CEO, and Board Director, Vera Bradley
  • Kelly Cook, President, Marketing, IT and Finance, David’s Bridal
  • Jill Granoff, Managing Partner, Eurazeo; CEO, Eurazeo Brands
  • Cy Wakeman, President and Founder, Reality-Based Leadership
  • Emma Mcilroy, CEO, Wildfang
  • Amy Shah, Double Board Certified MD and Wellness Expert
  • Sharonda Weatherspoon, Head of Retail Operations, Client Development and Transformation, North America Retail, Ralph Lauren
  • and more to come!

What’s not to love!

We’re really looking forward to the 2024 Summit and urge you to sign up today! (And remember, Women in Retail Leadership Circle members get a significant discount on registration, so if you’ve been thinking about becoming a member, now is the time!)

See you all on Amelia Island!
