Where did the name INSPIRE Northwest™ come from?

INSPIRE Northwest™ name was founded by Jennifer Bushong, JBe Marketing Group CEO in 2022. Creating an event of this caliber has been on her mind since she founded JBe Marketing in 2020. The word INSPIRE is written on her office wall. It is a founding value and guide for JBe Marketing to inspire clients to be the very best in their industry. Featuring nationwide executives, keynote branding experts and published authors brings more opportunities for participants to come from around the Northwest to attend this high-caliber event.

How did the leadership team decide on the session themes?

In the process of building a new live event, JBe wanted to provide high-quality information in an engaging and enriching environment. Understanding the complexity of marketing today, we built an afternoon filled with discovery. Starting with a broad scope of goal setting and dreaming, to understanding your personal brand to using the new AI skills with your goals and brand then the final session of storytelling with tie in all the pieces from the afternoon session. The sessions will build on each other-or you can attend only one session.
