Think & Link with Portia Hart and Karina Kogan

Think & Link: January 23rd (Thursday), 3:00-5:00 pm Central (Live, In-Person)

We are here to inspire you through the dark month of January with a resort founder from Columbia and a marketing leader who has orchestrated exponential growth curves for Peloton and Oura Ring. 

So, if you’re looking to get healthy in January and take an exotic vacation to Cartagena, Columbia, we’ve got your inspired speakers on the stage. 

Karina Kogan, former head of marketing from Peloton and Oura Ring, currently board member and advisor to Jackpot.com. We also have Portia Hart, founder of Blue Apple Beach, Amare Beach and Manzana Azul, the operating business surrounding these exotic ventures. 

And, of course we’ll be there, Kitty Hart and Aaron Keller, as your co-hosts. 

Areas of learning from this event:

1. The role of design in a luxury resort experience and modern health technologies.  
2. Managing modern marketing for a high growth industry and business model.
3. The regenerative travel movement and how our experiences can have an impact. .

We started Think & Link as a french-style salon, to discuss the relevant topics of the day, connect with other like-minded individuals and share inspiring stories.
