And that’s a wrap… on the 10th annual LTK Con. Let’s take a look at what three days of connecting, growing and learning with fellow LTK Creators, iconic Brands and industry leaders looked like.
The invite-only, three-day event brought together more than 250 top LTK Creators and premier global brands in Dallas, Texas, for an exclusive opportunity to meet, collaborate, and discover potential partnerships.
LTK Creators got to meet and learn from top Creators and industry leaders including, but not limited to, LTK President and Co-founder Amber Venz Box, celebrity interior designer Shea McGee of Studio McGee and McGee and Co. TikTok’s Head of North America Lifestyle and Education, Stephanie Hind, and so many others.
The 10th annual LTK Con kicked off with a keynote address from LTK President and Co-Founder Amber Venz Box, who spoke about the state of the industry as well as introducing NEW LTK App features like Products on the Shop and Buy Now (coming soon!). Amber also sat down with LTK Creator, mother, entrepreneur, and interior designer Shea McGee of Studio McGee to dive into her journey as a Creator turned household name and brand.
Creators were also able to attend classroom sessions such as TikTok 101+ Strategies, where TikTok’s North America Creator Lead, Lifestyle & Education Melissa Tecson shared insights on how to leverage TikTok for their LTK Shops. Other insightful sessions included Unlock Your LTK Analytics To Boost Earnings, where LTK Creators dove into LTK Analytics and insights to strategize and curate optimized content. The week was filled with strategy, meet and greets, LOTS of fun and few LTK surprises along the way!
LTK Con brought to life a real, one-to-one representation of an LTK Shop, a creator’s digital storefront and shop. The merchandised boutique showcased the functions of the Creator’s Shop including features like Collections, Product Reviews, Product Sets to Price Drop Alerts. Brand sponsors included Abercrombie & Fitch, Walmart, Anthropology, Tarte, and Colleen Rothschild.
Brands in attendance hosted roundtables where they could connect with Creators and suites to showcase their products.
