This past week, I was lucky enough to attend Engage!11 at The Grand Del Mar. My mind is still trying to digest every single conversation held, every gorgeous detail, and all of the advice given from the impressive line of speakers. Every time Rebecca and Kathryn hosts one of these conferences, everyone always claims that it is life changing and how it shifts their business into high gear. IT REALLY DOES! My first Engage conference, I felt, set forth new friendships and connections. This second time around, it has helped me set forth partnerships, ones that would not have been possible without the amazing group of attendees that they are able to attract. A further testament to how powerful this conference is, Engage11 :: The Grand Del Mar sold out in just two tweets. I was the first one to sign up, afraid that I would miss out on attending this magical conference just 3 miles from home.

Here are some gorgeous photos from the first day! All of the following inspiration boards were created using our new iPhone/iPad Inspiration Board creator app and took less than 6 minutes to create the boards! We hope to have it available in the next few weeks! All photos courtesy of Mel Barlow & Co.
