Storm-Proof Your Biz | Women in Business Panel + Networking

We’re gathering the boldest, smartest women in business to talk about what no one prepares us for:

𝗪𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗵𝗮𝗽𝗽𝗲𝗻𝘀 𝘁𝗼 𝘆𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗯𝘂𝘀𝗶𝗻𝗲𝘀𝘀 𝘄𝗵𝗲𝗻 𝗮 𝗵𝘂𝗿𝗿𝗶𝗰𝗮𝗻𝗲 𝗶𝘀 𝗼𝗻 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝘄𝗮𝘆?

☔️ What did we wish we had done last year?
💬 What communications helped clients stay calm (and which ones flopped)?
🔌 How do we protect income, inventory, and visibility when power’s out and chaos hits?


Join us for:

✅ 8:30–9:00 AM: Networking + caffeine + real convos
✅ 9:00–10:00 AM: Panel: Storm-Proofing Your Business
✅ 10:00–10:30 AM: Breakout tables to ask questions + build your plan

This is a no-fluff, community-first morning designed to keep you connected, visible, and protected — no matter what hurricane season throws your way.

This isn’t just a panel — it’s a prep session for your peace of mind.

Come learn from fellow women entrepreneurs who’ve been through it, adjusted, and adapted. You’ll leave with practical ideas, new biz besties, and maybe a new hurricane plan that doesn’t live in your Notes app.
