Connection Is Currency: What’s Your Net Worth?

April 25-27, 2025 | Chicago, IL

Your connections have the power to change everything.

At ConnectHER, we help you build real, meaningful relationships to unlock doors you didn’t even know existed. It’s more than networking—it’s about creating a circle of trust, support, and opportunity that helps you grow personally and professionally.

This year, we’re asking the big question: What’s your net worth? Not just in dollars, but in the strength of your community, the depth of your relationships, and the value you bring to the table. Through powerful speakers, interactive workshops, and intentional networking, you’ll learn how to:

⚡ Build authentic connections that last.
⚡ Position yourself as a resource and a leader.
⚡ Use your network to create new opportunities and partnerships.
⚡ Turn relationships into tangible success for your life and business.

Get ready to walk away with more than just inspiration—you’ll have a solid plan to invest in your connections, grow your network, and increase your real net worth. Let’s make 2025 the year you level up your life and business with the power of connection!

What can attendees expect at ConnectHER?
In brief, a three-day weekend experience that will either allow women to “reconnect” with themselves or “connect” with a community and/or tribe of women they discover while there.
Must attendees stay at the host hotel?
No, there will be options provided for hotels near by that ConnectHER is partnering with, offering conference rate specials.
Do I have to pay for ticket in full at the time of registration?
No. We’re happy to offer payment plans will be offered so that attendees can make payments over a period of time.
