If you lead, change, and create - this event is for you.

“I crave deeper, more meaningful conversations."

Between family commitments and the nonstop pace of work, it’s rare to enjoy an evening that’s truly for you—one that nourishes your mind, fills your cup, and connects you with women who get it.
“I'm new to Charlotte and looking for community.”

Your closest friends may be a plane ride away—but connection doesn’t have to be. This is your chance to build a local circle of support, inspiration, and real conversation—right here, face to face.
"I'd like to let my guard down and just be me."

Challenging the status quo and driving change can be both energizing and exhausting. This evening is a chance to exhale—no planning, fixing, or leading required. Just show up, be you, and connect in a space designed for ease, presence, and play.
“I'm an entrepreneur and could use a little inspiration.”

Building something from the ground up takes courage, creativity, and resilience—and some days, it takes a little extra fuel. This gathering is a chance to connect with powerful women, and leave recharged with fresh perspective and renewed energy.
“I give so much of myself to my job and want more balance.”

A demanding career can blur the line between who you are and what you do. This evening offers space to step outside the office mindset, connect beyond titles, and build relationships with women from diverse paths—the power of recharge.
