Update-The Influencers of Midlife Summit

Ladies, I wanted to update this blog post with the details of the Influencers of Midlife Summit on January 18th-20th,2019 at the Hotel at Avalon that many of you have asked us about.

Who are the Influencers of Midlife?

Anyone who is rocking this midlife adventure.  One of the most exciting things about hitting our 40’s, 50’s and beyond is that we still have huge opportunities to live our best lives, and now, possibly the time and resources to do just that.  Join our closed Facebook Group today.

We are focused on helping each other grow as women, and as business owners.  We are focused on learning and sharing with one another.  We are focused on health, wellness, and self-care, in short, living our best lives.  We welcome individuals and professionals who share these interests.

Midlife is a pivotal transitional point in our lives, many of us experience a spiritual and emotional renaissance, reconnecting with interests we didn’t have time for when we were younger as well as foraging new trails into unknown adventures, which include travel, and new relationships, to name a few.

The Back Story:

In April 2018, Robin LaMonte and Nina Bandoni, two fashion and lifestyle bloggers began to discuss a collaboration called Wellness Wednesday with other midlife bloggers.  Initially, Wellness Wednesday was planned as a short-term challenge series of blog posts by several bloggers designed to encourage their readers to take an action toward doing something new toward living their best lives.  As the bloggers talked, they began to see greater potential for a deeper conversation, one that women didn’t seem to be having in person or in other groups.

From the beginning, Wellness Wednesday posts were a success.  Both women received positive feedback, but more importantly, a dialog had been started and a community began to grow around Wellness Wednesday.  Several bloggers have joined in sharing their own wellness posts on Wednesdays.  Readers share stories about their health issues and began asking questions about blogging, growing their small businesses and how to use social media.

As the dialog has grown, Robin and Nina were asked to host a get together to further and deepen the discussion and dive into social media and blogging as well, and the idea of creating a summit was born.

The date of the Summit:  January 18th-20th, 2019

If you don’t want to stay the whole weekend, we offer a Saturday only ticket price of $150.00 on 1/19/2019. Saturday is filled with lots of activities, workshops, and speakers!

How does the Influencers of Midlife differ from other groups? 

While the Influencers of Midlife is mainly an online community, we do plan small get together/give together events throughout the year, and through the Facebook Group.  We are focused on taking action in life, not just talk about it. And while we love a good get together, we like there to be a takeaway, something learned, something shared, something is given, something gained.

Who are the Influencers of Midlife Summit and who should come? 

The Influencers of Midlife Summit is an event designed for all women who are thinking of starting a new career, small business owners, and individuals interested in learning how to improve their writing skills for blogging or their websites, strategies for their social media platforms, and wellness after midlife. You will meet fashion bloggers, interior designers, real estate brokers, and women who run successful businesses at this event.

Robin has written about staying at the Hotel at Avalon last spring and felt that this luxury hotel was a perfect place for hosting the first Influencers of Midlife Summit. 

This Southern-inspired luxury hotel sits as an anchor for the multi-use property known as Avalon in Alpharetta, Georgia.

The summit begins on Friday afternoon at 4:00 as you check into the event or if you plan to stay in the hotel for the weekend you will check into your room and join us for a welcome reception at 5:00 at Kendra Scott.

The Schedule

12:00- 1:00 Lunch- Keynote Speaker Brenda Coffee of 1010 Park Place will be speaking about survivorship as a woman of midlife.

Enjoy the southern Atlanta atmosphere while attending the Influencers of Midlife Summit. The hotel lobby was designed with a southern motif. Do you see the magnolias strung as room dividers?

If you only plan to attend our Saturday event it is $150.00.
