Most famous for her roles on “Days of Our Lives” and “Melrose Place,” and more recently on “Celebrity Apprentice” and “The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills,” actress and entrepreneur Lisa Rinna will present the keynote address at the 2015 Smart Tan Nashville trade show and educational conference, this Nov. 13-15.
With an extensive résumé of acting, modeling and reality television, Lisa is no stranger to the spotlight — she’s also appeared on “Veronica Mars,” “Entourage,” “Dancing with the Stars,” and more. However, the reason we’re bringing her to kick off the 20th annual Smart Tan Conference is her business sense. She’ll draw from her experiences in Hollywood, as a successful businesswoman with her Lisa Rinna Collection clothing, and as the operator of her own retail location to inspire salon owners for the 2016 season.
After owning and managing a trend-setting clothing boutique in California, Lisa took her causal and chic collection to home-shopping giant QVC. She understands the hardships that face small businesses, especially the struggles that come with balancing family life with business ownership. We’ll find out how she overcame these obstacles and continues to run a successful business she loves while remaining an active actress and celebrity personality.
For those who haven’t seen her on the “The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills,” Lisa is known to be vivacious, unabashed and hilarious, and her performance in Nashville is sure to offer the same. For someone so successful on so many levels, she doesn’t take herself too seriously, which lends to hugely entertaining, yet informative and motivating presentations.
The educational conference at Smart Tan Nashville 2015 is a new take on a total professional tanning business education. Following Lisa’s address, Business, Marketing, and UV session tracks provide enough knowledge for several employees from each business, while Sunday’s “The Tanning Industry Takes Action!” is a can’t miss, with all of the legal challenges we’ve faced in the past year. Kizer & Bender are also back with an all-new, pre-conference event, and we’ll switch up our sponsor giveaways with Sunday Power Hours and a Wheel of Smart Tan grand finale. And, of course, the industry’s largest trade show floor is always at Smart Tan Nashville!
