Hosted by former celebrity styling agent, Crystal Wright, the Summit is being held April 18-20 at the Crown Plaza in White Plains, NY and promises to be inspiring and informative.
Houston, TX, March 20, 2015 (Newswire.com) - The PYP Summit is featuring over 30 interactive workshops presented by 25 beauty, fashion and style experts and business professionals. Speakers include: Celebrity makeup artist Renny Vasquez, beautyblender creator Rea Ann Silva, Hair Rules author and hair care line creator Anthony Dickey, Emmy Award winning makeup artist Kevin James Bennett, celebrity makeup artist and Glam Kitti creator Monifa Mortis, and freelance taxation specialist Susan Lee. The event seeks to empower freelance beauty, fashion and photography pros with entrepreneurship tools, skills and better business practices.
For two decades, event founder and organizer, Crystal Wright, has helped thousands of freelance artists embrace entrepreneurship through her portfolio building & marketing classes. “Artists kept asking for more business education,” says Wright, “hence––the Summit. We are preparing freelance artists to thrive as business professionals. They’re out there on their own and they need help.” Business, finance, marketing, writing and PR classes will help artists take advantage of opportunities, overcome obstacles, employ better negotiation skills and present themselves more professionally to potential clients. Some of the greatest challenges these artists face is managing business politics, booking consistent projects, and negotiating rates that reflect their worth. The PYP Business Development Summit was created to enhance the business knowledge of working beauty and fashion professionals and raise the bar for a new generation.”
