Our Amazing Sponsors:
Featured Panel Discussions and Workshop Presentations

Meet the People Behind the Expo
Michele Little, Producer
Michele Little is a Certified Death Midwife who helps us prepare for the end of this life at Beautiful Dying Company. Conducting workshops online, called Exit Papers 101, Michele holds our hands as she helps prepare the essential final paperwork for the dying and the death - the medical directives, the family tree, the final wishes, funeral arrangements, the memorials and bequests. Michele arrives at this calling the consummation of her history as a peace maker and life transformationalist.
Christy Marie Wilson, Co-Producer
Throughout nearly two decades of working in hospice, Kimberly experienced grief from the loss of young co-workers and many hospice patients as she captured their life stories in order to celebrate the lives they lived.
Kimberly left her job at hospice in December 2016, and created a podcast, Death by Design, that hosts industry leaders in medicine as well as artists, designers, caregivers and authors who are reclaiming their voice around their own experiences with death and dying.
