One of many thrilling issues we did this yr is convey AWIE to Australia.

On December 9, Yotpo held the primary in-person AWIE occasion in Sydney, and it was incredible!
The occasion featured an AWIE afternoon tea and a dwell podcast hosted by Jess Ruhfus, Founder at Collabosaurus, a advertising and marketing device that connects manufacturers. The featured friends had been Alyce Tran, Co-founder, The Day by day Edited and now Founder at dinnerware model Within the Roundhouse and Paige Griffith-Carmichael, Advertising and marketing Supervisor at world retailer Marks & Spencer.
The Carousel and Girls Love Tech had been Yotpo’s media companions for the occasion, and a number of the attendees had been interviewed — we shall be sharing hyperlinks once they’re out there!
The vibe
There was a ton of vitality and pleasure within the room throughout the occasion. With the ladies’s fixed cheers and help for each other, the vibe was electrical. And there was by no means a uninteresting second, as photographs had been snapped, introductions had been made, and inspiration was shared. The desk was set fantastically with scrumptious platters and Within the Roundhouse was sort sufficient to donate a few of their stunning eating and serving plates so as to add to the desk decor.
