About the Event

After selling out in 2026 and having to turn attendees away, we’re back and even bigger. This year’s Women’s Month event will bring together about 150 to 250 people for an evening focused on career transitions, personal growth, and starting a new chapter.

Themed “Entrepreneurship is the New Survival Kit” the program combines practical business tools with honest conversations about resilience. Building something of your own means working through real challenges, not just ideal situations. The evening will include a panel discussion and interactive workshops led by local women leaders, entrepreneurs, creatives, and professionals who share their lived experience and practical advice.

Attendees will take part in guided discussions, skill-building exercises, and networking sessions designed to help them connect, gain confidence, and find clear next steps. Everyone will leave with new professional contacts, shared resources, and tools they can use right away in their careers or personal lives.

Community. Connect. Cultivate.

Who It’s For

Women and gender-expansive people ages 18 to 55 who are navigating career changes, growth, or seeking economic stability. This includes students, professionals, career switchers, entrepreneurs, and caregivers.
