You! Anyone doing business in the home and furnishings industry.
“Attending the WithIt Conference gave me the opportunity to not only meet amazing female leaders in the industry, but also it gave me more knowledge about leadership, communication, and networking. WithIt reminded me that leadership is an inside job. We are going to learn tactics, but we also have to have presence and put ourselves out there in order to succeed as leaders. You can’t play basketball from the bleachers, you have to step on the court. We should never be afraid to share ideas. Surround yourself with people who will support your ideas,
and always own who you are.”
Liz Tovar, Del Sol Furniture

"If you are in the home furnishings industry and not a member of WithIt, you are missing out on incredible opportunities, relationships and potential growth for your business. Attending last years conference gave me a chance to strengthen the connections with members and meet more women in the industry. I had not realized the diversity of our members! The presentations and seminars were incredibly informative and I immediately implemented new strategies that I am still practicing today. The conference gives you time to really get to know your fellow members and have some fun together; from sunrise yoga to a sunset cruise!"
Natalie Reddell, owner & designer

“I have found tremendous value in attending the WithIt Professional Conference. It enabled me to connect with women in leadership roles in the industry and strengthen relationships with my co-workers also in attendance. The event provided the opportunity to gain insights on challenges I face, as well as share my experience with others. The excellent line up of speakers not only inspired me to be a better leader, but also provided actionable takeaways I use daily. I would highly recommend the conference for women looking to build their careers.”
