Millennium Systems International announces a partnership with State Bags for the Millennium Experience—the company’s annual educational conference. Each attendee will receive a State Bag, and in return, one fully-stocked backpack will be hand-delivered to an American child in need.
Since its launch in 2013, State Bags has partnered with a variety of influencers and brands such as Beyoncé, Twitter, The Honest Company, RocNation, SoulCycle, and many more.
“Working with businesses of all kinds—including Millennium—is such a fantastic opportunity for State, not only for brand exposure, getting bags on the backs of hundreds of new people, but it fuels our #GiveBackPack program as well. Sometimes businesses can be about more than just making money—they can strive to make a difference, just like Millennium has done through this partnership. The more bags we're able to sell means more we can give, which is why we're in this business in the first place," says State co-founder Scot Tatelman.
2017 will mark 30 years of industry experience for Millennium Systems International. “We are honored to be a part of this beautiful mission. Each and every attendee will aid in giving back to a child in need. The foundation of the Millennium Experience is to gather passionate thought-leaders to network and grow. We also strive to inspire and renew each attendee’s sense of purpose. The partnership with State Bags starts this journey as soon as they walk through the door,” says Millennium Marketing Director Jennifer Martinelli.
The Millennium Experience will take place in Fort Lauderdale, Florida on June 11 –13, 2017. For the first time in its history, the event is now open to the entire beauty and wellness industry.
