What Alt Summit is Like
Unsure whether Alt Summer is for you? Here’s what a few first time attendees had to say about their experience:
“This was my very first ALT (after 5 years of blogging — what took me so long?!) and I can tell you it is worth every penny. I could go on and on about the value.” Susan, fleurishing
“I am so happy I decided to go. The whole time I was at the conference I kept noticing how right it felt in terms of both my personal and public life. I … went into Alt hoping for some guidance, reassurance, and inspiration … . I came out with that much and more!” Jen, Organized Jen
“I was nervous leading up to Alt Summit; there’s a lot of chatter about looking fashionable and having stand-out creative business cards, but as soon as I got to Alt, my nervousness diminished. It wasn’t the fashion show I feared. Rather, it was a mess of women (and a handful of men!) who were mainly rooted in two goals: learning and meeting other creatives. .. [T] whole experience was really enjoyable and most of all, motivating.” Melyssa, The Nectar Collective
“I was worried that this intense focus on how people look and what they wore and how beautiful their business cards are would discourage people from forging quality friendships that grow deep beneath the surface. But behind the cute outfits and beyond the beautiful business cards …, I met people who were willing to share their insecurities and struggles, accomplishments and joys. These were people whose beauty and spark emanated from the inside.” Lisa, LISLI: The Journal
