HEARTH & HOME TECHNOLOGIES PRESENTS 
HPBEXPO 2022’S KEYNOTE SPEAKER:

BRIDGET BRENNAN

Welcome to the Hybrid Life:

New Consumer Behaviors that are Changing Everything

Thursday, March 3

8:30 am – 9:45 am

Author and consumer expert Bridget Brennan will explore the challenges and opportunities of a new world in which our behaviors are increasingly “hybrid.” Are we working from home or living at work? Are we hanging out together or are we each on our own devices? Is the living room the new gym or the center of family life? Are we actively shopping or are we scrolling through Instagram? Increasingly, the answer is both – and that brings new opportunities for businesses in the hearth, patio and BBQ industries, because the home is the heart of hybrid life.

In this eye-opening and entertaining keynote program, the author of Winning Her Business and Why She Buys will inspire you with insights on the cultural shifts that are driving changes in the way consumers live, work and buy. You’ll walk away with strategies and best practices for leveraging these shifts to win sales and grow market share. You won’t want to miss this master class on cultural relevance and consumer behavior.
