Hi Reader,
Can I break the entire female founder events industry?
In-person events are THE thing right now for women in business. And it makes sense.
Frankly we're tired of trying to figure out what's real and credible and what's not.
More of us trust what we can see in real life, with real people in the room, over anything we scroll past online.
That's why attending in person events is THE single best strategy for entrepreneurs who want to grow right now.
But I think our industry is missing one big thing, and without it, the bubble bursts and we lose the trust of the women we're here to serve.
We're missing transparency and data in what an event can actually deliver for the people who have purchased a ticket.
Events are a MASSIVE investment for women. It's not just "buy the ticket," it's also arrange the childcare or pet care, coordinate travel, take time off from client work (which often comes with revenue loss).
We owe it to our attendees to overdeliver on exactly the experience we promise them at our events.
When I talk to women who are thinking about an event but hesitate to buy a ticket, they're ready. They want the strategy. They want the depth. They're already investing in themselves.
What they're skeptical about??
They're skeptical they'll get what they were promised, because they've been burned before. Probably more than once.
You've probably seen it too:
- An event says 300 women are coming, and 45 tickets were actually sold. (yes, that's happened to me)
- Community is promised, but there's no plan for relationships after the conference. Putting women in a room together is not community.
- In-depth strategy is promised, and the speakers read off their slides. (as an attendee, I could have gotten that info from Claude)
- "My event is better" is the whole pitch, with no specific outcomes. (event hosts if you're reading this...this is not a solid marketing strategy)
If an event can't deliver, it should stop promising it. There's nothing wrong with smaller, slower and honest.
I don't just want to point out the problems. I want to fix them. With Power Table LIVE 2027, I want women to point to our conference and say: that's what an event with transparency, and the results to back it up, looks like.
