SHE is Off Script: An International Women’s Day Experience
Each year, the SHE event brings women together for a powerful, honest, and unforgettable experience rooted in growth, connection, and truth-telling. But this year, we’re going off script. From the color scheme to the decor, speakers, and photo backgrounds - we are shaking things up in all the right ways.
This isn’t a conference. It’s not a seminar. It’s an experience. A room full of real women. First-time speakers. Raw conversations. Emotional breakthroughs. A space to be seen and stretched in ways you didn’t know you needed.
Expect an incredible lineup of everyday women with extraordinary stories, a panel like you haven't seen, soul-stirring activities, and the kind of energy that lingers long after you leave the room.
Whether you’re leading a business, raising a family, finding your way, or simply tired of playing small — this day was created for you.
Grab your girlfriends, wear your favorite pastels, and join us for a day that you are going to love.
A round of applause for our 2026 Platinum Sponsors!

All in the Questions We Ask Panel
Before we can truly understand ourselves—or one another—we have to be willing to ask better questions. The real ones. The uncomfortable ones. The ones that go deeper than “how are you?” and challenge us to be honest with our answers.
This powerful panel features four women who spent eight weeks doing exactly that—it’s about real women, real growth, and the questions that changed everything.
Grateful to our 2026 Executive & Table Sponsors
