The three-day event, scheduled for August 8^th-10^th, will focus on company branding and growing businesses from the inside out.

Baltimore will host the first OUTSPIREsummit at The Four Seasons Hotel Baltimore on August 8^th- 10^th, 2016. OUTSPIRE is a growth-focused event designed to inspire local and national businesses to elevate their brands.

The event boasts a jam-packed itinerary, including three days of developmental speaker sessions, expert panel discussions, hands-on technique lessons and networking opportunities. The summit will host 19 speakers and panelists with a variety of business backgrounds, including: Jessica Levin Conroy, Founder and CEO of Carats & Cake; Jasmine Maietta, Senior Director of Global Brand Marketing at Under Armour; Allison Nicolaidis, Consumer Products Group President at Stanley Black and Decker; and Food Network regular, Jason Hisley, Owner and Executive Chef of LaCakerie.

Stephanie Bradshaw, a Baltimore entrepreneur and business owner, is launching OUTSPIRE because she feels there is a need to approach company branding comprehensively. “There hasn’t been one avenue, one place, one event designed to help the sole proprietor or big business understand how to elevate a company’s brand and directly impact ROI,” Bradshaw said.

The speakers will cover a wide range of branding topics, including: growing a business, communicating a company’s brand clearly, producing engaging content, and measuring success. OUTSPIRE’s unique holistic approach will provide insights for companies of all sizes, locally and nationally, in a setting that allows business executives, thought leaders, and creators to collaborate and learn.

The keynote speech will be delivered by David Rendall, author of New York Times best-seller The Freak Factor, global speaker and executive coach at Rendall & Associates. Rendall works with clients such as the US Air Force, the Australian Government and a number of Fortune 500 companies including, Microsoft, AT&T, State Farm Insurance and Ralph Lauren.

“OUTSPIRE is a local event with national impact. We’ve gathered some of the smartest people in the industry to teach others how they can better build their business,” added Bradshaw, Creative Director of STEPHANIE BRADSHAW. “And we are doing this in Baltimore because I have spent more than a decade building my own business here, it is a community that I’m passionate about and one that deserves this positive, forward-thinking event.”
