Digging In Gathering – January 23-25, 2024

$600.00

$475 (special price for Digging In Members, check your email for the code)

Come with us for the perfect winter getaway in Fairhope, Alabama. There are many reasons to visit Fairhope, Alabama, there are few places more scenic, with historic homes on streets lined with live oaks and a charming, walkable downtown. Fairhope sits on bluffs that overlook Mobile Bay, so you’re never far from a view of the water.  It has a laid-back vibe and is the perfect place for us to gather and power up for 2024.

This gathering will be the perfect mix of learning, networking, and relaxing. You will experience what it’s like to be surrounded by like-minded professionals filling you with inspiration, energy and knowledge.
