Hamptons Tech Week - Storytelling Session
The Hamptons Tech Week Storytelling session sits at the intersection of storytelling, wellness, and leadership—designed to spark connection and honest conversation for the week ahead.
Co-hosted by Emily Jansen, Founder of Emily Jacob Agency, and Andrea Mitchell, Co-Host, Founder of Crew Up, the morning begins with opening remarks on the importance of our stories in life and business —exploring how female founders can leverage strategic storytelling, PR, and personal brand positioning to drive visibility, credibility, and growth.
But beyond the highlight reel, this conversation goes deeper. Because building a company doesn’t happen in a vacuum. It happens alongside real life—moments of pressure, uncertainty, loss, and disruption that rarely makes it into the headlines. In that vein, the event will feature a conversation with Toni Filipone, founder of MasterGrief™ Academy, who will share insights on scaling businesses while navigating personal loss, personal pivots, and business challenges.
Following the keynote, we'll hear from a few sponsors who will showcase their services/products and share how we can help.
