CBG Announces Dates for ‘The Experience’
In its third year, the private event is coming this September.
The three-day, invitation-only event will be held at the JW Marriott in Aventura, Florida.
The event, in its third year, is focused on networking, education and purchasing for the fourth quarter.
CBG CEO Andrea (Andie) Weinman said the format of the events has been “very well received” by CBG authorized suppliers and retailers.
“Each morning for breakfast, we have assigned seating for our retailers and suppliers that changes and rotates each day. This gives the attendees a great way to introduce themselves and network with each other,” Weinman said.
Lunch is provided daily as well.
This year’s Experience theme is “Workshop, Winning, and Wellness.”
The event will kick off Sept. 4 with a welcome reception gala.
The first day will feature a panel discussion on inventory and marketing management, followed by a talk on day two from a “very well-known TikTok influencer.”
An evening cocktail reception will follow both days.
A keynote from a “prominent Miami physician” is scheduled for the closing day of the event, along with a professionally guided energy and deep-breathing chair yoga session.
