We Are Here To Inspire Through:
01. Connection
02. Mentorship
03. Actionable Takeaways
Connection
“Networking is an investment in your business. It takes time and when done correctly can yield great results for years to come.” — Diane Helbig
Connect with others who are on the same path, facing the same challenges and roadblocks, and pushing forward each and every day.
This event is your chance to find five new powerful women to spend time with (or fifteen, or fifty?)
Mentorship
“A mentor is someone who allows you to see the hope inside yourself.” — Oprah Winfrey
The event’s presenting organization, SCORE, was founded in 1964 to provide volunteer mentoring to entrepreneurs and has served over 11 million.
We live and breath mentoring because it is a key lever to pull for any small business owner looking for more growth, stability, and confidence.
Actionable Takeaways
“Action is the antidote to despair.” ― Joan Baez
Our event is special for female entrepreneurs because of the recipe:
- One part connection and networking
- One part awareness of and access to resources
- One part support and inspiration
The final ingredient:
- Many dashes of actionable insights and next steps to start and continue relationships, break through challenges, and make real progress

The 2020 Summit went virtual, allowing us to more easily record the programming and adapt it to a useful form to revisit, or access if you missed the actual days!
It was our mission to make this the must-attend event of the year for aspiring, new and veteran female business owners. Based on attendee feedback, we did well!
It's not too late. You don't have to miss out. The recording access gives you the vital content you'd receive during the events, and the private community gives you the connection to a private network of peers.
