The event will take place across 4 stages featuring exhibitors and seminars: 1) Career & Finances; 2) Health & Beauty; 3) Fitness; and 4) Lifestyle & Relationships. Live music will play throughout.
The 12 seminars will feature established speakers and talented up-and-comers.

The event is produced by Jon Block, creator of the music & arts event series Sight & Sound, the 2010 New Year’s Eve Masquerade headlined by Delta Spirit at Birch North Park Theatre, the fashion & art experience Love Struck at La Jolla Playhouse, and many others.
“There’s something magical about the optimism and sincerity of New Years Resolutions,” said Block. “This event is a powerful reminder that it’s not about how many times you fall, it’s about how many times you get back up. It’s especially relevant today with people taking charge and creating a life that best works for them, and not trying to fit into someone else’s model.”
The Lafayette Hotel is located on El Cajon Boulevard between North Park and Normal Heights, an area renowned for the arts and its values of acceptance and higher consciousness.
Doors to Here & Now open at 11:00 am and the event will run until 5:00 pm. Attendees may be all-ages. Admission is $15.00 in advance at www.jbcreationsonline.com
