Event Recap: "FAB Goes Double Platinum"

EVENT RECAP - "FAB Goes Double Platinum" - August 23, 2011 - Pranna, NYC

On Tuesday, August 23rd FAB celebrated 2 years of turning FABulous dreams into reality. The event featured vendors (5-hour Energy, NYC Business Solutions and BORGEHSE), honorary guests, panel discussion, keynote speaker, networking mixer, raffle drawing and more!

The key note speaker was Stephen Dimmick (23-Year Veteran Celebrity Makeup Artist). The panelists included: Jill Steinberg (Vice President Domestic Sales, Diane von Furstenberg), Martin Cribbs (Former Director of Licensing, Andy Warhol Foundation), Kristin Waltman (Senior Marketing Manager, L'Oreal USA), Bonsu Thompson (E-I-C of The Source) and Phylicia Fant (VP of Media Relations, Warner Bros). The confirmed professionals shared their knowledge and advice on how to break into competitive industries, overcome adversity and discrimination, in addition to providing inspiration on how to work hard and follow your passion.

I truly appreciate everyone who contributed to the overall success of the event! I look forward to more years of educating, inspiring and connecting!
