BackStage in Las Vegas was Amazing
I just returned from BackStage, Stampin Up’s Leadership event in Las Vegas, and I am still smiling. This was my first in person BackStage event since coming over to SU! last year, and it was everything I hoped it would be and more. I left feeling inspired, energized, and so grateful for this creative community.
BackStage is a special event for demonstrators who hold higher title levels, and now that I have experienced it in person, I completely understand why everyone looks forward to it. The training, the people, the atmosphere, the surprises, the creativity, the encouragement…all of it was incredible.
This year’s event had a western theme and SU! carried it throughout the entire experience. From the decorations to the activities, everything had a fun frontier vibe. We even got to create our own custom cowboy hats, which might be one of my favorite souvenirs ever.
Over three days, we learned from SU! staff, top leaders, and some incredible guest speakers. There was so much valuable training along with plenty of time to connect with friends old and new. The food was delicious, the music was lively, and yes, there was even some line dancing. I also snuck in a tiny bit of blackjack because when in Vegas, right?
Most of all, I came home feeling thankful. Thankful for the opportunity to grow as a leader, thankful for the friends I have made, and thankful for all of you who support my small business and make experiences like this possible.
I took lots of photos throughout the week and wanted to share some of my favorites with you. I hope you enjoy this little peek into BackStage.
