The Experience

Your next connection could change everything.

The Confidence Networking Party is designed to help women build real relationships, exchange resources, promote what they do, discover collaborations, and leave with meaningful new connections.

This is not a long conference-style program. Networking is the heart of the experience, supported by short business spotlights, intentional connection activities, vendors, sponsor moments, and a welcome from Founder Marilyn Brown.
