October 2007

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.

Ladies Who Launch is an innovative platform for women interested in broadening their vision in any capacity. Our Incubators and events combine information, community, style, fun and passion and channel those into action. Through these Incubators, weekly emails, online startup survival kit, virtual network and events in different cities, Ladies Who Launch provides both a virtual and in-person event forum for women to share products and services, resources, ideas, creativity and networking.
