ABOUT THE DAY

Put your power suits and briefcases in the closet and get ready for a reality-altering day. Honor yourself by exploring your feminine entrepreneurial and creative potential at Ladies Who Launch LIVE!


You're invited to a day to connect with other inspiring women to grow dreams, businesses, and creative projects and to reignite any idea that has taken a back seat. Learn from our experts about launching a business, starting from scratch, pitching the press, balancing a busy life, creating rewarding relationships, and living the life you want.


Everyone from jewelry makers, fashion designers, Web and graphic designers to stylists, artists, entrepreneurs, and founders of nonprofits will come together under one roof to learn, collaborate, and hang out. And for those contemplating their next move or trying to decide when to get off the bench and get in the game, this is the day for you! Start that creative project. Launch a business.
