My recap is a little late to the party, but I’m still excited to share my favorite sounds bites
(and a few pics) from my first year at Alt Summit.
I have to admit I spent most of my time there feeling equally inspired and overwhelmed. It was awesome to be completely surrounded by so many smart, stylish, and incredibly driven women. (and a few good men) And totally terrifying too.
A week (and a head cold) later, this is what stuck:
Photos: 1/2/3/4/5/6/7/8/8/9/10/11
Sound Bites: 1/2/3/4/5/6/7/8/9/10
It’s good stuff right? Perfect for a blog, a business, or just a big dream.
In fact, if you wanna join me in working on a few of these fine points, I’d love to have you join me in my/our first creative pen pals project.
Real people. Real paper. Real awesome.
Promise. Come back later and join the party won’t you?

















I love these! I definitely need this kind of inspiration. Plus, how pretty are those pictures?! Thanks for passing on those nuggets of wisdom!
Yes, I’m so happy there were fabulous (professional) photographers there because my head was spinning too much to take very many pictures of my own!
Love these thoughts, and your photos are wonderful!
Ahh, thanks! I wish I could take credit (for the thoughts or ideas) but really I just smashed ‘em together!
Pen Pals! Fun! I want in!
Details tomorrow!
So excited for the pen pals project!!
Very inspiring! I’m curious as to how the pen pals project will work. Since I just read blogs (rather than host a blog) does that count to participate?
I’ll post all the details tomorrow!
And yes, you are still more than welcome to participate!
So inspiring – I love this! I really wish I could have gone to Alt Summit – it sounds like it was amazing!
Very highly recommended! Maybe next year?
I love this post! Perfection! Alt was amazing – I learned so much and met such lovely people (like you! AWW, GURL!)
By the way, I got that cold, too. It took about a week to get over the cough. Bleh.
I love how you put this all together, Tab – WAY more interesting and inspirational than a long, exhaustive recap of your whole week. Makes me want to learn more!
Fantastic! It’s one of those strange things where I have SO much to say that keeping it to the really important points seemed like the best plan! Glad you liked.
Amazing post honey! Very inspiring! I might have to check out going to Alt next year

This is wonderful! Gosh, I hope to be able to go to Alt Summit one day! Being in Paris doesn’t make it easy! Grr! Love these photos.
