International Women's Day Event | Women Building Resilient Businesses

Join and SCORE Central Florida for an evening built for women who are done doing business alone.

Hear honest stories from local women leaders in law, money, brand, social media, and small business ownership as they share what they've had to give up, comfort, time, identity, old beliefs, to build sustainable companies, clearer boundaries, and more joy in their work.

We're bringing together women from across Lakeland and Central Florida who are:

• Starting or growing a business, side hustle, or creative practice
• Tired of doing it alone or piecing everything together from the internet
• Craving honest conversation about the real costs and rewards of building something of their own

This is not a lecture series. It's an intimate, story-driven conversation where you'll recognize yourself in their experiences and get practical ideas you can act on this quarter.

This night is for you if:

• You're a woman founder, freelancer, creative, or small business owner in or around Lakeland
• You're dreaming up something new and need both courage and clarity
• You've been burned or bored by traditional, male-dominated business spaces and want something that feels more honest, more human, and more yours

You do not need to be "far enough along" or have everything figured out. If you're building or even just seriously considering building something of your own, you belong in this room.

• Honest panel conversation with local women experts and owners
• Real talk on legal protections, bookkeeping, and getting visible online
• Audience Q&A where you can ask the questions Google can't always answer
• Space to connect with other women founders
• A free subscription to Nora. Magazine
• And an introduction to free, ongoing support through SCORE's mentoring and educational programs

Light refreshments will be provided in a welcoming atmosphere hosted by CoHatch Lakeland, designed for clarity, connection, and real conversation.

Seats are limited to keep the room intimate. Reserve yours now and step into a room that was made for exactly where you are.
