SEE YOU THERE IN 2026

BrainTrust LIVE

BrainTrustLIVE 2026

Don’t miss this one-of-a-kind conference!

BrainTrust LIVE is our annual conference, unlike any other conference in the world. How? Our speakers are women who’ve built outrageously successful ventures, but instead of bragging about all their smart moves and brilliant decisions, they’re willing to talk about the darkest moments, the sleepless nights, the REAL struggles…and how they overcame them. The vulnerability and honesty will have you crying one minute and laughing out loud the next. “There is only one thing that makes a dream impossible to achieve: the fear of failure.” ― Paulo Coelho, The Alchemist You’re going to leave inspired! And, you’re going to leave with a notebook full of actionable tips that you can use NOW.

Pssst. The best part – this is our only event that’s always open to the public. So you can check us out for a day, and walk away happy, energized and feeling a little bit (OK, a LOT) of FOMO if you aren’t a BrainTrust member.

“There is only one thing that makes a dream impossible to achieve: the fear of failure.”

– Paulo Coelho, The Alchemist

This one-day with BrainTrust is going to help you conquer your fear, for good. How? By setting the stage for some AMAZING women founders to share their darkest moments…the moments where they may have been paralyzed by fear…but powered through to find extraordinary success.

You might be just one mistake away from the biggest move to catapult your company. Be early and stay late.

  • BrainTrustLIVE is a phenomenal event for women entrepreneurs to get inspiration and encouragement from other women who have been in the trenches of building a business. What I love about this event is that the speakers don’t just share the good stuff, but also the hard and challenging aspects of building, growing, and scaling a business. It’s so wonderful to be in a room full of strong, empowered women, and to know that you are not alone in the entrepreneurial journey. I can’t recommend BrainTrustLIVE enough!
