Engage! 11: Day Two
Written on June 26, 2011 by Jamie Clarkson
After a fabulous Day 1 at Engage, I was so excited for day two! We started off with breakfast, which was amazing. Pictures below by yours truly.
After breakfast we went right into our sessions for the day

Once we got to our seats we found awesome notebooks and Engage! 11 pens. We used our place card we picked up before breakfast to mark our spot. The first order of business was to pick who we got to have our dine around with. Silver trays with red envelopes were passed around and we were to randomly select an envelope. I got Christy from Junebug Weddings! After that, we heard from Rebecca Grinnals, who is one of the directors of the Engage confrence. Next up was the incredible Todd Fiscus. I took so much out of his talk. Loved him. After him, we took a short break with an amazing spread of snacks (see below). Then we came back in and heard from the wildly entertaining Cindy Novotny. She was so much fun to listen to and so inspiring!

After we heard from Cindy, it was time for lunch on the lawn with Sylvia Weinstock. We dined under an amazing Raj Tent, and the menus were by the beyond words inspiring Lehr and Black. All photos by Mel and Co.
Lunch was wonderful, and was followed by equally amazing speakers and another break, with a totally different look. Our first speaker after lunch was the one and only Marcy Blum. Her talk was fun to listen to. She talked a little about some clients requests, and looking for ideas outside the box. I really enjoyed it. After Marcy, was Carley Roney, who is co founder and Editor in Chief of The Knot. Next up was the always fabulous Mindy Weiss. I loved her, and she is such a down to earth person! Finishing the day off was Millie Martini Bratten, interviewing the legendary Monique Lhuillier. All pictures by Mel and Co. and yes, thats me sitting listening intently.
Once we had our minds all completely infused with wonderful ideas, and couldnt bear another piece of great info from information overload, it was time to go get ready for the dine arounds. We all met back at the hotel for a dessert after party at Club M, which was located on the hotel property. Whew. And that was day two, which was incredibly long but amazingly incredible!
