Rewrite your story. Realign your success. Rise into who you’re meant to be.
The FemPreneur Summit is designed by female entrepreneurs for female entrepreneurs. Because the FemPreneur Summit is more than an event—it’s a movement, Early Bird Registration is only $40! Register today and join us on March 4th! The FemSum sells out every year, so be sure to register early.
“Shift Your Script in ’26” is more than a conference—it’s a call to conscious reinvention. This mastermind-style experience invites women entrepreneurs to pause, reflect, and rewrite the patterns holding them back. Through deep-dive small group work, guided introspection, and strategic co-creation, we’ll explore the narratives we’ve inherited, the beliefs we carry, and the models we’ve outgrown. It’s time to lead from a place of truth, alignment, and unapologetic power.
Based on participant and exhibitor feedback in 2025, we're shaking things up a bit this year, with more connection activities, more Marketplace time, and strategic small group work to best address what's on the minds of those in the room and leverage the experiences and expertise of the power in the room. We can't wait to share this day with you!
Participants will enjoy a day of inspiration, relationship-building and tips for building your SELF and your BUSINESS, with mastermind-like rotations, a robust 30-exhibitor Marketplace and women like you, ready to shift their script in '26!
Join the FemPreneur movement!
Our goal is to bring women together in a judgment-free space to think outside the box, spark fresh ideas, and build lasting relationships. Join us for a day of empowerment, collaboration, and growth as we tackle the keys to thriving in 2026: Mindset, Model/Money, and Momentum/Manifestation. The FemSum sells out every year – don’t wait to secure your spot!

BACKGROUND: While there are several incubators, start-up support organizations, and small business advisers out there, many focus their offerings and services on businesses that plan to build something that can grow exponentially and eventually be sold for a lot of money. However, many female entrepreneurs start businesses with different goals in mind than building an empire. They start their companies so they can have the freedom, flexibility and fulfillment they need while keeping their families as a top priority. The support, mentoring, collaborating and advising that these female entrepreneurs need is much harder to find when they don't fit into the traditional "startup" or "entrepreneur" molds.
That's why the FemPreneur Summit was created!
