Los Angeles -- In just 3 weeks, the Boutique & Lifestyle Leaders Association (BLLA) will congregate in downtown Los Angeles February 11-13 at the Magic Box @ The Reef to showcase some of the world's best brands and independents to discuss the future of the boutique sector globally.

Some of the highlights of this event are the diversity of speakers brought to the stage. "Our boutique hotels and businesses are collaborative and pillars of local communities" stated Frances Kiradjian, CEO, BLLA. "Highlights include Avi Brosh, CEO of Paligroup / Zak Normandin, Founder & CEO of Dirty Lemon / Larry Korman, President of AKA Serviced Residences / Joey Gonzalez, CEO of Barry's Bootcamp / Sarah Simon & Tran Wills, Co-Founders of Base Coat / April Uchitel, CEO of VIOLET GRAY / Benjamin Edgar Gott, Founder of Boxed Water / Kim Malek, Founder & CEO of Salt and Straw / Nicole Centeno, Founder & CEO of Splendid Spoon / Melissa Briggs Bradley, Founder of Indagare / Wilhelm Oehl, CXO of Eight Inc. Hearing from leaders first-hand is one reason why people love the Stay Boutique Agenda and attend the BLLA events, besides the great networking, education and overall very upscale, boutique experience."

Additionally, the distinctive events all happening at the same venue, run on consecutive days beginning February 11th with an afternoon Boutique Bootcamp and Opening Cocktail Reception.
