Dreams do come tru
e! Nearly three years ago when I started the concept for Startup Princess I envisioned retreats at fabulous places all over the world… one of those places being the DISNEYLAND HOTEL> so it was a personal joy to host the Startup Princess Academy April 17-18th there. Thank you, thank you to all of our Fairy Godmothers who shared their expertise and all of the Startup Princesses (and Startup Wizard, Brian Williams!) who participated from all over the country and Canada to attend! A special thank you to my partner, Michelle McCullough, Startup Princess B

All of the Fairy Godm
others were really over the top AWESOME with their content and mentoring. (Photo: Maria Andros “Video Marketing Queen” with attendee Justine Green “Princess Amerah”). I learned a great deal from each of them, pages and pages of notes! Here’s a peek at one of the presentations “How to Pitch to Bloggers” by Fairy Godmother Ciaran Blumenfeld, @momfluential
Wish you were able to attend? Good news! We recorded the event and it will be made available as an audio recording in the next few weeks. We’re also working on a workbook, “Marketing to Women Strategy Plan” to go along with it. We’ll let you know when it becomes available.
Here’s our Flickr account for the full event photos.
Here’s some of the comments from Twitter…follow our hashtag, #SUPA (for Startup Princess Academy):
The #SUPA event was even MORE than we could have hoped 4. Learned so much and have a huge respect 4 all the gr8t ladies! @MagicPrincess (Justine Green)
@KimScoville said, #SUPA was like a time machine launched me into the future. Never learned more from a 1 day conf in 10 years as a corp attorney.
I have to say the #SUPA event left my head spinning but I think I’ve finally found my niche. I’m excited! @BizzieMommy (Sum
mer Elie)
The caliber of speakers at #SUPA were incredible. Amazed at how @startupprincess got them there. Fantastic! She’s one connected lady @cheekyandswank (Jenny Johns on)

This event came at a wonderful time in my business, just as I am building my website and thinking through my strategies to get the word out. I am truly inspired by the event, met great people, and took home substantive ideas to apply.
I am still amazed at how much I learned from just one day. It has been a few weeks now and I have only put a small dent in my “to do” list – and yet, I am always working on it. I met so many inspiring women and AMAZING speakers, and I love keeping in touch with them. I can hardly wait for Touchpoint! Thanks Kelly!!
