Sure online shopping is nice, but have you ever leisurely browsed a collection of small shops while meeting the people behind the brand? Well, that’s exactly what our Pop-Up Marketplace is! You’ll find vendors conveniently placed right outside the breakout sessions. Expect to see lovely curated goods from:  Say hi to Aura Rose and The HUE-niverse! The HUE team is so excited to be launching their very first rainbow retro rag doll, Aura Rose, at Alt Summit 2025! Co-Founders Mary Beth Sussmann, Arrolynn Weiderhold, and Misha Perritt have been working toward their goal of launching their beautiful line of dolls, and the wait is finally over! Their dream? Seeing a child holding one of their dolls, knowing they’ve brought a little more color, confidence, and joy into their life. The first doll they are launching is Aura Rose—their pink doll, the color of compassion. Aura Rose inspires us to be compassionate toward others and ourselves. She models kindness through small, thoughtful actions—helping others, baking sweet treats for friends, and writing heartfelt letters to show she cares. Come check out Aura Rose’s pink pop-up at Alt Summit on Saturday and Sunday! They’ll have sugary treats to share!  Hazelmade, the stationery and home goods brand founded by illustrator Susan Hazel Rich, is coming to Alt Summit!

These items make perfect gifts, and travel well. Don’t miss the special California-inspired design created just for this event!  Agapantha is delicate, modern, layering jewelry designed by founder and Alt Summit alumni, Dani Paquin. Hand crafted in Los Angeles and carried in boutiques throughout the US, Agapantha’s collections pay homage to inspiring women in Dani’s life. Renowned for a simple sophistication and wear-it-anywhere confidence, Agapantha is celebrating 21 years of timeless designs! Perhaps what sets Agapantha apart, is something intangible. Something more personal. Agapantha is as much a feeling as it is a ring, bracelet, earring, or necklace. Come visit Agapantha at the Alt Marketplace on Saturday and Sunday and find your new favorite everyday jewelry, get pierced with their gorgeous selection of 14k and diamond pieces, and seal the 2025 Alt experience with a new permanent bracelet, anklet, necklace, or ring.
