There’s a certain kind of magic that happens when creative women gather.
Ideas start flowing, collaborations spark, friendships form, and suddenly you’re not just dreaming bigger — you’re moving bigger. That’s the heart behind ELEVATE: The Creative Women’s Summit, returning this January for a full day designed to inspire, energize, and empower the creative community we love so much.
From the beginning, ELEVATE was built to be more than an event. It’s a reset, a recharge, a reconnection — the place where founders, creators, entrepreneurs, and creative doers come together to start the year with clarity, momentum, and possibility. Last year’s summit welcomed nearly 200 women, dozens of speakers, and an entire community of creatives ready to step into a new chapter. And this year? It’s going to be even bigger, even richer, and even more meaningful.
Our 2026 program features a full lineup of powerhouse speakers, dynamic panels, and immersive experiences, all woven around one theme: Elevate — your brand, your business, your creativity, your wellness, and your life.
What to Expect:
- Inspiring keynotes from creative leaders and founders you know and love
- Expert-led panels covering content creation, partnerships, wellness, business strategy, and the future of creativity
- Elevate Pop + Shops featuring fashion, beauty, home, lifestyle, and creative brands
- Hands-on moments and conversations that help you reset, reflect, and reimagine what’s possible
- Meaningful networking with creatives, entrepreneurs, makers, influencers, and women shaping our community
- A beautiful, energizing venue at the historic Darien Community Association
Whether you’re coming to sharpen your skills, build relationships, grow your business, or simply reconnect with your creative spark, ELEVATE is designed to help you do just that — with intention and inspiration.
Why We Host ELEVATE at the Start of a New Year
There’s something powerful about starting the year surrounded by women who are showing up for themselves. January is a moment of possibility — a clean slate, a fresh start, a chance to set the tone for the year ahead. We intentionally host ELEVATE at the beginning of the year because it gives you space to step back from the noise, reconnect with your purpose, and step into your next chapter with confidence.
And truthfully? It’s one of our favorite days of the year.
The energy. The community. The conversations. The ideas. The breakthroughs. The clarity.
It’s everything we love about this creative community — all under one roof.
