Do you work with women or have women in your workplace? Join us for the 10th anniversary MEGA celebration of Advancing Women to the Top, a professional development conference for all women in the workplace! Kick back, hear from exciting industry professionals, grow closer with coworkers, enjoy local eats, indulge in local wines, and make new friends in your network! The event will be on September 25th, 2025 at the Venue at Coosa Landing!

So what is it?: Advancing Women to the Top Conference is an annual conference designed with the woman in mind. Feel empowered and inspired with messages specifically catered for you, and advance to higher levels of leadership professionally and personally.

At the conference you'll socialize, make connections, and fellowship with local businesses in Etowah and other surrounding counties. Hear from dynamic speakers from all across Alabama in diverse sectors of industry, and enjoy a delicious breakfast, lunch, and "wine" down session.

Breaks between sessions will allow attendees to network amongst each other and visit local vendor booths as well as include snacks and bites from local caterers (Cash on hand will be beneficial!)
