Break the Mold – Go Beyond Limits. Rethink What’s Possible.


The Women's Networking Alliance is excited to welcome you back for our signature event, and this year, we're shaking things up! The 2025 Fall Mixer and Small Business Summit is all about pushing boundaries, reimagining possibilities, and stepping boldly into your next chapter as a business owner.

Our theme this year, "Break the Mold – Go Beyond Limits. Rethink What’s Possible," is your invitation to challenge the status quo, explore bold new strategies, and be inspired to grow in ways you haven't even imagined.

You asked and we listened! This year’s event will feature more dedicated time for open networking and visiting vendor tables, so you can make the most of every connection and conversation. Whether you're deepening existing relationships or sparking brand-new ones, we’ve made space for meaningful engagement.

Throughout the day, you'll enjoy:

  • Insightful talks from dynamic speakers who will encourage you to think differently
  • Actionable takeaways to energize your business strategy
  • Interactive Q&As that get to the heart of your challenges and goals
  • Sponsor spotlights and vendor visits to help you discover new tools and support
  • And of course, our lively after-event happy hour to unwind and celebrate!

This isn’t just an event. It’s a launchpad for possibility.

Register now for the 18th Annual Fall Mixer and Small Business Summit and take the first step toward rethinking what’s possible for your business.
