2026 Stilettos & Strategies Conference Theme: Activate Your Built In Brilliance
The 2026 Stilettos & Strategies Conference is a calling card for a personal reset.
This year's conference focus is designed for the woman who’s been doing everything right… and still feels like something isn’t fully aligned.
You’ve been building, leading, pivoting, showing up to handle responsibilities while quietly asking yourself, “What’s next for me?” We know first hand what that feels like and have curated a safe space designed for real conversations through intentional connection, honest dialogue, and practical strategy guided by subject matter experts..
Our charge for this year is to activate your "built in brilliance" and empower you to move forward on the path that restores the best version of you.
Come be a part of an intentionally curated, intimate space, where you are surrounded by women who understand you.
Every detail has been thoughtfully designed by our founder Nu Epps, The Process Pro to create a space that feels both elevated and welcoming, because you deserve to be in rooms that pour back into you.
