Regretfully, Lisa Rinna had to cancel her appearance at Smart Tan Nashville due to a family emergency. But we’re happy to announce that her reality television co-star and successful entrepreneur Lisa Vanderpump will be kicking off our event in her place!

Most recognized for her role on The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills, Lisa Vanderpump is much more than just a reality star. Since beginning her career launching restaurants in London, Lisa has branched off into a variety of other successful endeavors as a designer, author, philanthropist, producer, entrepreneur and television personality. In the same way she has continually expanded her business success into bigger and better things, Lisa proved to be so engaging and likable on The Real Housewives that she scored her own reality show, Vanderpump Rules.

She’s become a big name in Hollywood, but the real reason we’re bringing Lisa Vanderpump to kick off the 20th annual Smart Tan Conference is her business sense. Throughout the years, Lisa and her husband have opened dozens restaurants, bars and clubs. Her three current Los Angeles restaurants – Villa Blanca, SUR and PUMP – have become staples in California. She has carried over her success in the restaurant industry to other businesses including her pet apparel and accessory line, a self-titled EVINE live collection that includes jewelry and home furnishings, LVP Sangria and more.

With involvement in so many ventures, Lisa understands the hardships that small businesses and entrepreneurs face – especially the struggles that come with balancing family life with business ownership. In Nashville, we’ll hear about how she continues to run several successful companies and remains an active television personality – all while keeping an eye out for new opportunities to expand her empire.
