Excited at the prospect of meeting people face-to-face once again after a two-year hiatus, she added: “There’s a unique sense of bonding that comes from being able to look somebody in the eye and share stories about successes that they’ve had, or tips that have worked to help grow their business that extends beyond just being able to engage online.”

Commenting on the three celebrities who will be taking part, Sweeney said she wanted to attract external keynote speakers who could add something new to the event that members could benefit from, even if they came from a different industry.

She said: “I’m personally very excited about Molly Bloom. We’ve never had a female keynote speaker before at an event, and her entire speech is going to be centered around creating experiences that are memorable for people and create an invaluable client experience. Bloom will also share with FUSE attendees the power of authenticity and why you should always bet on yourself through true stories and life lessons that show when you bet on yourself in business, you can always win.

“Magic Johnson will share his experience as an enterprising businessman and philanthropist, who has inspired communities and empowered countless individuals in the process,” Sweeney added. “Magic Johnson had an incredibly successful career as an athlete, but he’s also had an incredibly successful career as an entrepreneur, our members will benefit greatly from the diversity of his experiences.”
