About this Event
This isn’t your average women’s business event.
Are you tired of “motivation” sessions, recycled advice, and leaving empty-handed? Elevate & Empower LIVE is not that.
This is a one-day, high-impact experience designed for women entrepreneurs, coaches, and consultants who are DONE playing small and ready to be seen, get paid, and walk out with a real, actionable plan.
No fluff. No endless panels. Just high-level strategy, real connections, and results.
What You’ll Experience
- Powerhouse speakers (see below) sharing the exact strategies they use to build brands, monetize, and create community—no gatekeeping.
- Action-driven workshops: Build your own 90-day visibility and revenue plan.
- Hot seat coaching: Real-time support to get you unstuck and moving.
- Curated networking: Meet women who are investing, building, and ready to connect.
- Lunch & refreshments included! You’ll be fueled for a day of strategy and connection.
Who Should Attend?
- Women business owners, coaches, consultants, and creators
- Founders who are already in motion, looking to scale and stand out
- Women ready for strategy, implementation, and a high-energy room—not just inspiration
- If you’re new and still wondering “should I start?”—this might not be the right fit (we want you when you’re ready to invest in you!)
