Back in April of this year, the stars aligned and we got connected with serial entrepreneur Claudia Chan. Claudia had just launched a new media brand for women – ClaudiaChan.com – and was about to throw her launch event – a HUGE undertaking for only 10 weeks of planning. She envisioned an entire week of events for women – hosted by various women-centric organizations in NYC culminating in a Remarkable Women’s Cocktails and Conversations event. I met Claudia in her Soho apartment and immediately began to see the vision and the possibilities. I added in my thoughts and expertise to their great ideas and S.H.E. Summit Week was born. Taking place from June 18-24, we ended up hosting about 42 events that week – collaborating with over 35 organizations and several hundred attendees. It was an event planning experience unlike any other that I have done so far and it was a great learning opportunity and confidence-builder. Today, I want to share some of the behind-the-scenes of the event and what it looked like as it all came together. I took the behind-the-scenes photos so please excuse the quality

To pull off an event of this scale, we set up a working station at the home base venue. Armed with only laptops and one printer, the team worked tirelessly throughout the week to communicate with attendees and organizers.
