Monthly Events Centering Women Entrepreneurs
At She Stands Tall Forward, we know that women entrepreneurs do their best work when they’re learning, connecting, and celebrating together. Our events are experiences full of energy, ideas, and inspiration. Whether you’re starting out, scaling up, or leading in your field, there’s something here for you.
2026 Events Overview
Women’s Entrepreneurship Week is a multi-day celebration of women’s innovation and leadership. Hundreds of women entrepreneurs, innovators, and leaders gather for workshops, panels, keynotes, and community experiences that give you both practical skills and a burst of inspiration.
Speaker Series keeps the momentum going. Woman entrepreneurs shares their journeys, insights, and expertise. These sessions balance practical tips with personal authenticity, creating a space to learn, ask questions, and connect.
Our quarterly peer-to-peer discussions take things even deeper. Small groups of entrepreneurs explore a pre-selected topic, swap ideas, share challenges, and celebrate wins in a supportive, interactive environment.
Where It All Started
She Stands Tall’s speaker series is our foundation event and where it all started. At our speaker series events, we invite a woman business owner to answer questions about her journey to business ownership, lessons learned, and plans for the future. We learn so much from our speakers and want to make sure no one misses the wisdom they share. So, in 2024 we started recording speaker series events and making them available on our website. Enjoy!

Why Women Founders Value She Stands Tall
She Stands Tall has always felt like a warm hug to me. It’s a group of women who aren’t concerned with labels or just the surface level side of running a small business. These conversations feel deep, real, and excruciatingly honest. I always leave these events feeling inspired and thankful for being part of this community of entrepreneurs in our city.

My favorite thing about attending She Stands Tall events is learning about the creative, generative things that amazing women are doing in our community! I have attended several of the speaker series events and the vibe is always welcoming, diverse, casual, and inclusive. If you want to connect with a great group of women business owners who will welcome you, cheer you on, help you network, and support you in your journey as an entrepreneur, join us at the next event!

Owner of Meaningful Marks LLC and She Stands Tall Speaker
What I have learned from attending She Stands Tall that resonates with me has been that it is really not getting to the finish line but enjoying the process of being a business owner through the hardships and the good times. Enjoying all the experiences and learning from them as they come. And most importantly, that we are not alone.
