Putting on a quality event for Saint Louis businesspeople takes a lot of work, time and energy. We’ve had the good fortune of forging some great partnerships with various local vendors. that will help us put on the Look at Me event at an affordable price.

Because of these great partnerships, we are temporarily lowering our ticket price by $100 through the end of July. This also applies to the Bring a Friend discount – two tickets for $249.

We are working on our venue, and will be announcing it later this month. It will most likely be in the Chesterfield area. Watch our website or Twitter feed (@MarketSTL) for details.
