ATLANTA — Bedroom Kandi, the 2022 XBIZ Award winner for Home Party Company of the Year, will be holding its annual convention this weekend at the Hilton Atlanta Airport.
This marks the event's in-person return after a three-year hiatus due to COVID-19, as well as the company's 10th anniversary.
"This movement may have started with my entrepreneurial dream of creating beautiful, high-quality, affordable pleasure and wellness products, but I quickly realized how many people lacked the opportunity to access them," said founder Kandi Burruss, who highlighted the company's goal of making sure all customers feel "comfortable enough to explore."
"I saw the need for support, which grew into the vision for Bedroom Kandi," she continued. "Consultants can provide the needed guidance, while also changing their own lives and communities by being able to build independent businesses with a really flexible model.
"The entry to entrepreneurship isn't just hard, but very often cost-prohibitive. This systemic issue is why Bedroom Kandi's goal is to provide anyone with the opportunity to bet on themselves and their desire to enhance their lives with our proven entrepreneur program."
The convention will feature keynote speeches from entrepreneur and influencer Dr. Lynn Richardson, as well as Bedroom Kandi's Executive Director Rita Silva-Grondin and Burruss herself.
"In celebrating Bedroom Kandi's 10-year anniversary, we are reaffirming our core belief that experiencing pleasure and wellness is meant for everyone," Silva-Grondin said. "We will continue to execute on that mission by evolving our tiered supplier strategy, calling on specialized product creators and collaborators to help ensure uninterrupted customer experiences and greater supply chain resiliency with domestically made products, helping to facilitate the next decade of Bedroom Kandi's success."
Burruss, a Grammy-winning songwriter and star of Bravo's "Real Housewives of Atlanta," started Bedroom Kandi in 2011 to "destigmatize intimacy and self-love, promote sexual wellness and education, while empowering entrepreneurs to achieve success in their independent businesses."
A virtual attendee option is available for those unable to attend the convention in person this Friday through Sunday.
