The Collective will examine juniors market

Here are some details about The Collective, an event at The Camp I'm working on with Foam Magazine.

The team at Foam and I have lined up influential industry executives to talk about the junior's market of today and tomorrow. The speakers will also share key moments in their careers.

I wanted to work on this project because my readers have told me they want to hear more information on the junior's industry and about the "success stories" of people who have ascended to top positions. Foam operates in this market - and they are very nice people - so it was a natural fit.                   

24|seven is the presenting sponsor.

Confirmed speakers include:

Laurie Etheridge, Senior Vice President, Merchandising and Design, Roxy.

Stacy Clark, left, Chief Executive Officer, Swell.com.

Summer Rapp, Vice President of Design, Quiksilver Women's

Susan Crank, Chief Executive Officer, Lunada Bay

Johnny Schillereff, Founder and President, Element

Dick Baker, Chairman Emeritus, Surf Industry Manufacturer's Association

Cary Allington, Co-Founder, ActionWatch

Welcoming remarks by Shaheen Sadeghi, owner of The Camp and The Lab

The Collective is Thursday, Oct. 16 at The Camp in Costa Mesa.

More details will be released soon about how to purchase tickets and additional speakers.
