NEWS RELEASE
For Immediate Release
Tijōn Winter Park owner will share lessons from decades of building businesses and empowering the next generation of women leaders
Orlando, Fla., August 6, 2026 – Tijōn Winter Park, Central Florida’s first interactive custom fragrance-making experience of its kind announced that Alyce Bartolomeo, serial entrepreneur, author, philanthropist, and owner of Tijōn Winter Park, has been selected to participate as a speaker on the “Entrepreneurial Success Panel” at the 16th Annual Orlando Women’s Conference, on Thursday, September 10, at the Dr. Phillips Center for the Performing Arts.
Hosted by Orange Appeal magazine, the annual conference brings together women professionals, entrepreneurs, business owners, and community leaders for a full day focused on personal and professional development, leadership, entrepreneurship, and empowerment. Last year’s event welcomed more than 450 attendees.
Bartolomeo will join fellow entrepreneurs for the morning Entrepreneurial Success Panel from 9:40am to 10:25am, sharing insights drawn from decades of experience building, scaling, and successfully operating businesses across real estate development, construction, beauty and wellness, retail, franchising, and experiential hospitality.
“I’m honored to be part of a conference that brings together so many accomplished and inspiring women. I believe entrepreneurship is about much more than building a successful business. It’s about having the courage to pursue an idea, learning from the challenges along the way, and creating opportunities for others. I’m excited to share some of the lessons I’ve learned throughout my journey and, hopefully, encourage other women to take that next step toward their own goals,” said Alyce Bartolomeo, owner of Tijōn Winter Park.
Bartolomeo’s entrepreneurial journey began at age 14 as one of the youngest Avon representatives in her community. Since then, she has founded, grown, and operated businesses across a variety of industries. Her approach to entrepreneurship is grounded in resilience, creativity, continuous learning, and a commitment to helping others recognize their own potential.
Her passion for mentoring women also extends to her philanthropic and community involvement. As a former Girl Scout leader, Bartolomeo taught young women about business planning, return on investment, marketing, sales, professional presentation, and philanthropy, helping them develop skills and confidence to become future leaders.
In addition to Bartolomeo’s participation on the Entrepreneurial Panel, Tijōn Winter Park will be a Marketplace Exhibitor at the conference, giving attendees an opportunity to experience firsthand what makes Central Florida’s first interactive custom fragrance experience unique.
At the Tijōn booth, attendees will be able to see the company’s Mobile Fragrance Lab and learn more about its interactive fragrance-making experience. Guests can discover how Tijōn transforms traditional fragrance shopping into a hands-on experience where participants become the perfumer, create their own custom fragrance, and leave with a scent that is uniquely theirs.
“I’m especially excited that Tijōn will be part of the Marketplace because it gives us the opportunity to showcase not only our interactive fragrance experience, but also our Mobile Fragrance Lab,” Bartolomeo added. “The Mobile Fragrance Lab brings the Tijōn experience directly to corporate events, team-building activities, conferences, private parties, and other gatherings, giving groups a fun, creative, and memorable way to connect. I look forward to attendees stopping by to experience it for themselves, and discover how Tijōn can bring something truly unique to their next event.
