Lakeside Conference for women in business seventh annual

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!

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.
