South Bay Business Leaders Summit

Joe Terry and I had the honor of sitting at the Chevron Sponsor table at the South Bay Business Leaders’ Summit with Event Chair, Jill Brunkhardt, on Friday, March 6.

Sponsored by the Manhattan Beach Chamber of Commerce, the Summit was held at the Manhattan Beach Marriot.

Now in its second year, the organizers built on the success of last year’s Summit – they kept what worked, tossed what didn’t – and streamlined the event into an effective, informative, inspirational, half-day symposium for the local business community.

The morning began with a breakfast buffet and networking session, while Joe and I aired The South Bay Show live from the event.

This year’s theme, Making Your Mark: Communication, Branding, Leadership, featured Key Speakers Tracy Cioffi, Vice President, Marketing & Digital at See’s Candies and Andy Cohen, Co-CEO of Gensler.

In addition to the impressive Key Speakers, there were four breakout sessions scheduled:

• Influencing Others through Communication was presented by Daniel Martin, Senior Partner at Paolucci, Salling & Martin.
• Building and Enhancing Your Brand featured Kim Salzer, General Manager at Gifts.com.
• The “Wow” Factor was presented by Peggy Grande of The Quiggle Group.
• Digital Marketing Strategies for Success featured Bill Karz, Vice President of Digital Marketing at the Los Angeles Tourism & Convention Board.
