WHAT TO EXPECT RUNDOWN – LA 2018

Hey C&C LA Squad! We are so excited to get the LA party started! There are so many amazing things coming your way (ahem, Kim Kardashian West) but before we get any closer to the big day, we wanted to give you a sneak peek of what to expect. 

Attendee Happy Hour

If you’ve never been to a C&C attendee Happy Hour the night before the conference, you are in for a treat. Please bring your badge for entry or your attendee confirmation.
