Audacious Girl: Salt Lake City
October 1, 2026 | 12:00–2:00 PM
University of Utah | Salt Lake City, Utah
YOUR IDEA. YOUR FUTURE. YOUR MOVE.
You have an idea.
Maybe it's a business you want to start. A career you want to pursue. Something you want to create. Or maybe you don't know what your “thing” is yet—you just know you're ready to figure out what's possible.
Audacious Girl is for you.
Join USA Today bestselling author and entrepreneur Marty McDonald for an immersive afternoon designed for young women ready to turn their ideas into action.
This isn't a conference where you sit in a chair and listen to people talk about what you could do someday.
You're going to do it.
WHAT'S HAPPENING
We'll start together with Marty and The Audacious Ask—learning how to ask for the opportunities, resources, relationships and access that can move an idea forward.
Then you'll choose one hands-on Audacious Girl Lab:
STORY + PITCH LAB — TELL IT.
Turn what's in your head into a story and pitch people actually remember.
MONEY LAB — PRICE IT.
Learn the money behind an idea: what it costs, what to charge and what you could actually make.
CASH APP LAB — SELL IT. GET PAID.
Think like a customer, build an offer and learn how to confidently put a price on the value you create.
SQUARE BUILD LAB — OPEN FOR BUSINESS.
Take an idea and experience what it takes to turn it into something people can actually buy.
Then we'll bring everyone back together to make the most important move of the day:
MAKE THE ASK.
You'll leave with a clearer idea, a real next move and an Audacious Ask that could help you get there.
WHO SHOULD COME?
Audacious Girl is designed for high-school and college-aged young women, approximately ages 14–24.
You do not need to own a business.
You do not need to know exactly what you want to do.
Come with a business, an idea, a question—or absolutely no clue yet.
Just come ready to build.
WHAT YOU'LL GET
Your registration includes the full Audacious Girl experience, hands-on lab participation, an Audacious Girl swag kit, connections with founders and business leaders, and tools you can continue using after the experience.
Space is intentionally limited to 75 participants. Registration is required.
