ABOUT THE DAY

Make your dream a reality, grow your business, or just come get connected and inspired through Ladies Who Launch's BYOB (Be Your Own Boss) event!

You won't see a power suit or briefcase in this room ... why? Because we do it differently. Creativity and the entrepreneurial spirit thrive when you're surrounded by others who believe that there's more than one way to create success. This is truly a reality-altering day, so come join us!

At our BYOB event, you'll find ...

  • Inspiration. Learning from those who have gone before us and paved the way is a lot more fun than toiling away on our own. The speakers chosen for this event bring wisdom, experience, and know-how.
  • Tools and resources. We also believe in providing tools and resources for you to use and implement when you leave the event, so whether you meet one-on-one with a consultant or pick up a tip from a featured speaker, our promise is to make the day valuable in a very practical way.
  • Community. Without each other, we can't get very far. The Ladies Who Launch community starts with the Incubator program, now in 50 cities, and also includes the many women who find us online and want to find each other. This is the day to reach out and connect in-person with a woman just like you!

    Who should come? Everyone from jewelry makers, fashion designers, Web and graphic designers to stylists, film producers, artists, entrepreneurs, and founders of non-profits will come together under one roof to talk, listen, and exchange ideas. Some of us will be contemplating our next move or trying to decide when to get off the bench and get in the game. All are welcome!
