On April 9 - 10, 2024 Amazon hosted it's 2024 SHINE Summit at the Hyatt Regency in Crystal City, VA. This year's event was designed to shine a light on Latina leaders in Amazon's upper-management positions from all over the globe. The 2-day event was catered and hosted by the Hyatt Regency in Crystal City. The conference space provided a spacious, distraction-free backdrop for fostering the event's numerous networking opportunities, while also providing a stage for conference speakers in their Regency Ballroom A downstairs. The event was organized and coordinated by the Walton Isaacson group.
The SHINE Summit began each stretch of the day with uplifting physical dancing and stretching from dancer/ fitness enthusiast Bianca Solo. The panels and sessions covered topics from how to achieve a more ideal work / family / life balance and shared uplifting stories from others in the Latina management roles who achieved their personal and professional targets.
Custom stations could be found throughout the lobby wherein esteemed attendants could update their professional headshots with local photographer Bridgette Squire, attain custom hand-painted notebooks from Right Place Studios, smile at the photo booth with Snap Happy Photo Booth, learn Salsa Dancing, and get their hands on free Amazon apparel.
The event concluded with a colorful gala full of music, dancing, a 3-course dinner, and a very special live concert by the prolific, world-famous guitar duo Rodrigo y Gabriela.
