Kendra Scott at SXSW 2017: Women Empowerment

Photography by Becki Smith House Photo

This year's SXSW was a wild ride—literally! We dined,pop-fizz-clinked, spoke with some of our favorite #bossladies, and rode all around town in signature Kendra Scott pedicabs. Come along with us as we relive all of the festivities!

Create & Cultivate Dinner

We had the honor of hosting some of our favorite ladies at the Kendra Scott Headquarters for a beautiful dinner co-hosted with Create & Cultivate. Together we found so many reasons to "cheers"! Guests oohed and aahed over our state-of-the-art design studio and everyone was given the opportunity to design a custom piece of jewelry to be donated on their behalf to a child going through treatment for cancer as part of our Kendra Cares Program.

Kendra Scott VP Speaks on 'Ladies at the Top' Panel

VP of Design, Denise Chumlea, represented the Kendra Scott family with passion and eloquence as she spoke with her fellow panelists. The women shared their thoughts on being leading ladies in business. Each speaker shared unique insights and collectively agreed on three key points: use your voice; trust the people who surround you; and mentor everyone you manage, regardless of gender, so that one day we will all have an equally powerful place in the workplace.

Painting the Town...Yellow!

Throughout the week we took to the town with pedicabs and a very special manicab! Visitors who #CaughtTheKendraCab were shuttled to and from the best SXSW panels, while our manicab offered #KSNailedIt manicures and nail art for all who stopped by.

It was a whirlwind, but we are already counting down the days until SXSW returns to our hometown of Austin, TX in 2018!
