The Aspire Summit

Hosted in partnership with Millikin University’s Center for Entrepreneurship, the Aspire Summit is built for women who are ready to grow, build, and lead.

This one-day experience brings together professionals, entrepreneurs, and organizations from across the region to offer a thoughtfully curated program designed to spark ideas and strengthen connections.

The day begins with a welcoming coffee & pastry hour followed by a powerful panel featuring three dynamic voices in business and leadership. From there, attendees can tailor their own experience by choosing four out of eight interactive 45-minute workshops—designed to support both personal and professional growth. With two rounds of options per session block, you’ll have the flexibility to focus on what matters most to you.

A catered lunch, refreshments, and intentional networking opportunities throughout the day create space to build authentic relationships. Giveaways, swag, and thoughtfully designed moments round out the experience.

Whether you’re launching a new idea, scaling your business, or seeking fresh inspiration for your career, the Aspire Summit offers the tools, insights, and community to help you take your next step with confidence.

Early bird tickets are available through Friday, August 30—an ideal opportunity to secure your spot at a reduced rate! Stay tuned for upcoming announcements on speakers, workshop topics, and special event highlights.
