A day designed to inspire, connect and empower.

• A vibrant marketplace and business showcase, featuring female-led businesses.
• Opportunities to support and connect with local charity partners (The Haven Wolverhampton, Black Country Women's Aid and Periods Matter)

Following a successful first year in 2025, which welcomed around 75 women, the conference is scaling up in 2026 to bring even more people together for a bigger, bolder experience, including:

• 4 keynote speakers.
• 4 expert-led workshops.
• 2 panel discussions.
