THE 2026 EXPERIENCE
Let’s Work Live is a two-day women’s business summit in Uptown Charlotte — September 24–25 at the Grand Bohemian Hotel. Strategy, AI innovation, funding conversations, and relationships that keep going after the last session.
You walk in with a business.


You have the idea. You need the strategy and the relationships to move it.
You have the business. You’re ready for stronger systems, wider reach, and real scale.
You have the title. You want the network, the fresh perspective, and a room that thinks bigger.
You’re entering a new season. You want clarity, community, and the courage to make the move.
Founders, executives, and operators you’ll actually stay in touch with long after the summit.
Practical moves on revenue, growth, leadership, and funding, taught by women doing the work.
Tools and workflows you can use Monday morning, from the people who build them.
