Event Information

ABOUT THE DAY
Every busy woman loves to multi-task; you know, catch up with a friend while jogging, a pedicure with a business partner. Accomplishing two things at once is natural for a woman. But the Ladies Who Launch LIVE event is not only one big multi-task, it's so much fun you'll forget it's good for business and your life! Come to this day and get totally, unabashedly inspired and motivated by listening to women who have launched a cable network, a lifestyle brand, the bible of restaurant guides and a balanced, joy infused life. Don't be surprised if you leave with referrals, new friends, a new hand bag, a great marketing tip, a connection, a surprise run in with a long lost friend and incredible opportunities to learn, enjoy and move forward in your life or business. This day is unlike anything you've ever attended; so check your expectations at the door.
Take a day for YOURSELF (and tell your best friend to do the same.) Ladies Who Launch LIVE is worth dedicating an entire day for.
