This Week's BLLA Commentary

It's the most wonderful time of the year... AWARDS SHOW SEASON!!!

Awards season is upon us once more. Ballots have been submitted, votes counted, and now all eyes turn to Hollywood for the latest round of media accolades.

Always seemingly bigger and better than the preceding year, these lavish ceremonies command the attention of the industries they honor, while giving the professionals who power them a much-needed reprieve to celebrate their achievements. Keeping this in mind, we at BLLA and Stay Boutique recognize the outliers who shape the boutique industry every year at the Stay Boutique Awards Ceremony held the evening of the Leadership Conference.

Aside from the potential merriment, award ceremonies prove worthwhile for all participants. An industry with brands, companies and professionals deserving of recognition is likely a robust one. These events can be viewed as benchmarks of industry health and believe us when we say - boutique has never been healthier!

On the heels of our recent expansion into all avenues of "boutique" (servicing hotels and beyond), Stay Boutique Live is gathering the entrepreneurs, professionals, and fans of boutique at the Stay Boutique Live Trifecta on February 12th in Downtown Los Angeles.

BLLA is motivated by the ideas and projects generated by our sector and we’re honored to present the hoteliers, designers, vendors, suppliers, restauranteurs, brand leaders, and thought-innovators with the recognition they deserve. These leaders have helped boutique stake its rightful claim to "powerhouse" status. With each trophy rewarded, we hope to motivate our community in return, curating a climate across the industry for another year ripe with expansion and success.

Recipients of the Stay Boutique Award not only gain the respect of their peers but also earn exposure through the press the association generates around every Stay Boutique Live event. Do you know a person, a business concept or project who gets "it"? - Nominate them for a chance to be recognized!

We're looking forward to gathering our boutique family together in person for the next installment. As is the case with all Stay Boutique Live events, expect ample networking opportunities, healthy gourmet food and beverages, and unmatched industry insight. Learn more about the Awards ceremony and the two conferences that comprise the Stay Boutique Trifecta here.

If you'd simply like to attend the Awards ceremony, we'd love to have you! You'll find that option available.
