The two-day event will host over 2,000 attendees at every level of their career, from C-Suite to  the aspiring entrepreneur, offering a dynamic blend of keynotes, networking, and immersive  experiences designed to empower ambitious women from a variety of industries. Also taking the  stage for panels and keynote conversations are some of the most inspiring names in  entertainment, sports & fitness, business, and wellness:

This is the first year Create & Cultivate has partnered with Chase Ink on the Create & Cultivate Festival, working together to foster creativity, innovation, and collaboration among business owners.

The inaugural Create & Cultivate Festival sponsored by Chase Ink will mark the brand’s largest event to date, offering over 100 sessions across two days. Attendees can expect hands-on workshops, high-impact 1:1 networking opportunities, start-up pitch competitions, industry specific panels, keynotes, live podcasts, and an experiential pop-up market featuring the most exciting women-focused consumer brands and products.

“We’re pioneering a new type of event to better serve the needs of modern businesswomen,” said Marina Middleton, CEO & Partner of Create & Cultivate. “Most women-focused event experiences focus exclusively on empowerment or are reserved for side events of large industry-specific conferences built only for industry optics. The Create & Cultivate Festival will break down industry barriers to unite a newly formed community of ambitious women across business, tech, sports, entertainment, hospitality, finance, and culture.”

Festival attendees will receive access to CONNECT, Create & Cultivate’s data-enabled, AIpowered one-to-one meetings platform, ensuring ROI from the event. This cutting-edge app will facilitate thousands of 15-minute one-on-one on-site meetings among attendees, analyzing profiles to match them with a curated, personalized list of connections that align perfectly with individual goals – whether that be to connect with a mentor or finding an investor.

“With CONNECT, we’re not just hosting the most unique event for women in business of 2025; we’re ensuring it’s the most productive for every woman attending,” added Jaclyn Johnson, Founder & Partner of Create & Cultivate. “The Create & Cultivate Festival is our most ambitious venture, set to become the annual must-attend event for women looking to elevate their careers, expand their network, and make meaningful business connections.”
