Time to Level Up!
Stand Out - Get Seen - Be Known
Spend a day surrounded by other women in business, building relationships, learning from experts, and mapping your plan to level up in 2023.
Leveling up means different things to different people. It may mean more revenue for some, but it can also mean less stress and more time with your family, or achieving a goal you haven't reached. The seventh annual conference is designed to help you determine what leveling up looks like to you, and give you the expert business advice and new connections to help you get there.
Looking to meet new people and optimize your business? Join us!

Speakers will be sharing their experiences and expertise on leveling up in business, in fun and engaging sessions.
EXPERT PANEL DISCUSSIONS
This year our panel will be discussing 'Hiring Help For Small Business Owners' as well as taking audience questions.
NETWORKING & MASTERMIND CIRCLES
We have built in plenty of time to hang out and get to know the other women in attendance. Also participate in mastermind circles- a time to get feedback and share your thoughts with a small group.
How is this event different?
THE AUDIENCE We cannot say enough about the caliber of women that come to this annual event. This tribe is friendly, helpful, and always looking to give support. No drama or divas here. Even the speakers sit in the audience and engage in the event. Stepping out of your business for a day to be surrounded by other women who are also looking to level up, can be extremely impactful.
CONTENT ALIGNMENT AND INTENTION This is not just a random hodge-podge of business topics. The strategic goal for this year's conference is to help you create the business and life you dream of, by infusing your unique expertise, experience, and style into your business structure. We will workshop through each step with the experts, with added support to uplevel your mindset in the process.
BUSINESS VISIBILITY We know your business needs some fresh visibility for 2023. All attendees can choose a Featured Business ticket upgrade to be included in our Preferred Business Partner Guide, which will be given out to all attendees and sponsors, as well as being posted online. There will be curated opportunities for connecting with other attendees at the event, as well as sponsorship opportunities (first come, first served limited spots).
