We came. We saw. We conquered. About 160 successful, motivated and passionate women from the retail world descended upon South Beach last week for the second annual Women in Retail Leadership Summit, and a phenomenal time was had by all.

Attendees even had an impromptu “meeting” with another woman in retail on Miami Beach — a vendor selling bracelets!
