The countdown to Full Figured Fashion Week™ 2010 is in full swing. If you have not secured your tickets to the events you can either go to the main website or to the events page on Facebook.  As part of the activities Full Figure Plus will be a part of The PLUS Side of Business panel discussing what it take to operate a business with a central focus on plus size or full figured women.

The PLUS Side of Business is being hosted by Voluptuous Woman Company, Inc. owner Jennene Biggins.  Last year I was involved in another activity and could not attend this panel which has me looking forward to meeting a whole new group of distinguished women some of which I have been writing about for years.

The PLUS Side of Business includes a panel of business owners (A Retailer, Fashion Show Production Company, Public Relations Expert, Plus Size Blogger and Editor-in-Chief of a Plus Size Magazine) who will share their experiences of running successful businesses that service the plus size woman/man. The panelists will share with the attendees the resources and information that they have used to create and maintain their respective businesses.

Panelists: (subject to change):
Stephanie Danforth – Editor-in-Chief, Daily Venus Diva
Tonye Fubara – Apparel Entrepreneur, Melons and Peaches
Glen L Johnson – Plus Size Blogger, Fullfigureplus.com
Kimmoy Matthews – Business Coach, www.thecurvycoach.com
