Refinery29 welcomed VIPs, celebrities, influencers, tastemakers and consumers to the School Of Self Expression, presented by Neiman Marcus. Inside these walls, we encouraged guests to raise their voices, break the rules, and live outside the lines. 47MM social impressions have been garnered across platforms, to date, from #R29ExpressYourself!

Located in the beating heart of Austin, over 3,000 guests attended the three day interactive event, taking crash courses in the classrooms of creativity, technology and style-discovery.
