Is this event only for women?

This event centers on women in leadership, but all who support and uplift that mission are welcome. Inclusivity is at the heart of what we do.

What’s included in my ticket?

Every ticket includes breakfast, lunch (with gluten-free and vegan options), access to all keynote sessions and workshops, and entry to the Saturday Night Prosecco & Pinot Party.

Is this an all-day event?

Yes—plan to be with us for the full day, from morning check-in through the evening celebration. A detailed schedule will be shared closer to the event date.

Absolutely! Many women attend solo—and leave with a circle of new connections. This space is designed to be welcoming, empowering, and community-driven.

Will there be opportunities to network?

Yes—connection is a key part of the experience. Between sessions, during meals, and especially at the evening celebration, you’ll have plenty of chances to meet other ambitious women.

What’s the Prosecco & Pinot Party?

It’s our signature evening send-off—an informal, high-vibe mixer with music, appetizers, and drinks. It’s where we celebrate everything you’ve gained throughout the day—and get you ready to hit the town, Vegas-style.

How do I stay in the loop?

After registering, you’ll receive email updates with the schedule, speaker highlights, and helpful reminders.
