The Southern C is headed to Palm Beach and the iconic Colony Hotel this week to a sold out retreat for founders, CEOs and business owners. TSC co-founders Whitney Long and Cheri Leavy have partnered up with Sarah Wetenhall, the “captivating CEO of the Colony Hotel in Palm Beach” to plan this incredible retreat for 75 lucky attendees. I had the pleasure of hearing Sarah speak both at The Southern C retreat a couple of years ago and in Birmingham, Alabama at The Antiques at the Gardens event and she is a warm, engaging and inspirational speaker. I absolutely loved hearing the story of her family’s connection and ultimate ownership of The Colony. In addition to Sarah, The Southern C Retreat Itinerary includes an incredible lineup of speakers, activities and sponsors.
Luckily, if you’re attending you’re already staying at the best hotel. Now you just need to shop and dine at the best as well.
Here’s to Connecting, Collaborating and Creating in sunny Palm Beach!
