ABOUT THE SUMMIT

On October 10th, 2010, the 2nd Annual AllyKatzz Tween Summit will welcome 250 tween girls, ages 8-14, from across the country to NYC. It begins at 8:00am at The Altman Building in Chelsea, NYC. The day will encompass keynote addresses that emphasize the importance of tweens speaking up and taking action, "Speed Meeting" with A.L.L.Y. & CertifiK.A.T. of Achievement Awardees, the Exhibit Hall featuring AllyKatzz Alley and the AllyKatzz Lab showcasing event sponsors that make the Summit possible- all offering the girls a rare opportunity to tell companies what THEY want, a chance to "Speak Up & Share" with the "Listening Panel"- a group of accomplished women from media, entertainment, fashion, sports, and politics who want to know what tweens want, and a chance to spread goodwill through DenimMessaging™- (decorating the interior pockets and waistbands of jeans with words of hope and encouragement that will then be donated to homeless tweens and teens). Then, at 7:00pm, at NYU Skirball Center for the Performing Arts, they'll be treated to a PINK Carpet event and the "DM'ing™ for Change!" concert.

To complement the tweens' experience- a day long Parent Track devoted to exploring topics relevant to their daughters is offered- including what girls are thinking, doing, saying (or not saying), and dreaming...

This groundbreaking day will be moderated by tween expert, AK Tweens and AllyKatzz.com founder Denise Restauri along with author, Seventeen Magazine columnist and self-esteem expert Jess Weiner.
