Most independent brands don’t fail because of design. They fail because they never build a direct relationship with the customer.
About this Event

Join guest speakers Elena Brennan, Founder & CEO of BUS STOP Boutique and Leo Voloshin, CEO of Printfresh as they walk us through growing an audience that actually converts to consistent sales.

A candid conversation about what it actually takes to build and sustain a direct-to-consumer fashion brand.

This session explores what it truly takes to sell online — and survive doing it.

Event Flow:
6 pm – Arrival, with music by DJ Soup and refreshments.
6:30-7:30 pm – Moderated conversation with speakers Elena Brennan, Founder & CEO of BUS STOP Boutique and Leo Voloshin, CEO of Printfresh.
7:30-8 pm – Post-conversation networking, community connection, and music by DJ Soup.

This is not a “get rich on Shopify” seminar. It’s an honest, practical conversation for entrepreneurial designers and independent brands focused on long-term sustainability. Audience participation will be encouraged throughout, with space for real-time questions and peer exchange.

Come prepared to ask questions, swap experiences, and connect with fellow founders.
