Think of a TED Talk, but with more LIGHTNING! These short 10-minute presentations are a focused drop on one specific area of your brilliance. What's something you've figured out that you know will serve the women in tech community?


Share your Superpower and/or company while improving your presentation confidence, which serves a larger mission of elevating the visibility and stature of women leaders.  You'll also receive written feedback from expert speaker coaches, along with recorded footage of you presenting in front of an audience that you can use to amplify and support your ventures.

This weekend we have the opportunity to do concise Case Studies with a BC business and a BC nonprofit. Our panel of experts will lead 45 - 90 minute deep dives to explore what's working, what's not working and what to focus on next for our two case study participants. This will be a robust opportunity to see our experts dissect problems, distinguish focal points and sequence solutions.


The Case Studies will teach you innovative ways to evaluate processes and transform breakdowns...into breakthroughs!

We've brought together some of the leading experts in their fields to help you FLIP THE SWITCH! National and international innovators are ready to deliver power-packed and content-dense sessions called Intensives!


This is where you learn what global leaders are up to, including the systems and tech stack they use, their strategies and overall approach to business mastery. Open up your notepads, you're going to need them.

What do you get when the collective wisdom of some of BC's leading entrepreneurs, creatives and experts have their minds on you and a specific issue you bring to the table? Let's find out!


Each retreat participant  will have their own 40-minute Mastermind, assembled with attendees and guest experts. Get ready to FLIP THE SWITCH in your business or mission!

Some of our guest experts are joining us from far, far away. The Online Cameo is a  value-rich presentation from one of our experts that will give you actionable questions and processes to integrate into your own growing enterprise.
