I’m thrilled to share our first speaker for the 2019 Be Sage Conference!

Kristin Banta will be sharing her knowledge with us this winter in Miami. She is the creative visionary behind Kristin Banta Events, one of the country’s leading event design, planning, and production houses.​

Attendees of Be Sage Conference have typically been in business for 5-10+ years. And, while they have built successful businesses, they face these challenges:

  • ​how do I continue being relevant year after year after year?
  • how do I evolve? can I reinvent my business?
  • how do I overcome saturation, market roadblocks, economic highs and lows?
  • how do I put my own stamp on events?​

Kristin will be speaking on Reinvention & Relevancy: How to Create a Lasting Mark on the Industry​.

Kristin will be teaching:

  • Reinvention – moving with the market/economy to continue being relevant.
  • Diversification – how to diversify (and shift gears) to better safeguard your business.
  • How to make time for creativity and inspiration (learn how to step back and seek out your OWN source of inspiration as creators)
  • Why transcending trends is critical to survival (… you can’t rely on others to define your business).

Kristin will also be sharing design challenges as client case studies and will discuss with attendees how to overcome each of them.
