Do I Have to take the Top Shops survey or be a "Top Shop" to attend?
Absolutely not. We encourage all participants to take the Top Shops survey. But, Top Shops is also a great place to learn about the program; network directly with current and past participants and hear from current and past Top Shops honorees.
