StorySLAM Dinner Experience

A StorySLAM is an open mic event where participants are asked to share a few moments of their life with the assembled guests. Share your journey, hear from others, and leave inspired.

This is a separately ticketed event.

Your Journey & Journal

Because this is not your typical conference…be sure to pick up your journal at the opening cocktail and prior to bed write down one thing you want from the next day and reflect on all that has happened to get you (wonderful you!) here at this moment in time. 

During the day we will take moments so that you can fill in your reflections and for those that wish – share with the group.
