What Our Attendees Said

Here's what some attendees shared from our last event.

Clara Nosek @yourdietitianbff

Attending the FWEC Creator Summit was an incredibly enriching experience, as Yoli and Sonja created and fostered a special sense of community unlike anything I have ever experienced. The collective wisdom and unity among attendees left me inspired and deeply connected to a diverse network of individuals committed to truly inclusive and equitable, positive change.

Jenny Patrice Krystal Dunham @themotherroaddietitian

What I found was a community genuine about building one another up. I gained so much knowledge from this Summit & I'm grateful for Yoli & Sonja for their wonderful vision turned reality.

The Creator Summit was such a great experience. I met so many incredible creators and I learned so much. I've been blogging for 13 years, and this was one of the best conferences I've ever attended.
