Elevate & Empower LIVE is Chicago’s go-to business conference for women entrepreneurs ready to step into serious visibility and real results
About this Event

This isn’t your average women’s business event.

Are you tired of “motivation” sessions, recycled advice, and leaving empty-handed? Elevate & Empower LIVE is not that.

This is a one-day, high-impact experience designed for women entrepreneurs, coaches, and consultants who are DONE playing small and ready to be seen, get paid, and walk out with a real, actionable plan.

No fluff. No endless panels. Just high-level strategy, real connections, and results.



What You’ll Experience
  • Powerhouse speakers (see below) sharing the exact strategies they use to build brands, monetize, and create community—no gatekeeping.
  • Action-driven workshops: Build your own 90-day visibility and revenue plan.
  • Hot seat coaching: Real-time support to get you unstuck and moving.
  • Curated networking: Meet women who are investing, building, and ready to connect.
  • Lunch & refreshments included! You’ll be fueled for a day of strategy and connection.



Who Should Attend?
  • Women business owners, coaches, consultants, and creators
  • Founders who are already in motion, looking to scale and stand out
  • Women ready for strategy, implementation, and a high-energy room—not just inspiration
  • If you’re new and still wondering “should I start?”—this might not be the right fit (we want you when you’re ready to invest in you!)
