No speeches. No dress code. No name tags. Just 3 hours laughing with other working women and getting real about doing life in the trenches.
5 Things is an event. It's a room full of women who believe women are our greatest allies and we reach our fullest when we share what we know, who we know, and how we get through it. The night starts with a happy hour and time to shop 5 women-owned business vendors. Heavy apps are served. The bar is open. The room fills in with 175 - 200 working women of every sort - varied ages, all sorts of professions, and dressed in everything from scrubs to sparkles. 5 powerhouse women take the stage, one at a time over the next hour or so. They each have just 10 minutes apiece to deliver 5 practical, tangible tips on things you can do tomorrow to make a difference in life. Home, health, heart, work, family, career. Working women are blending these things seamlessly all day every day and so does 5 Things. If you believe in more seats at the table, honest, authentic discussion, and the power of "we" then 5 Things is for you. Create by women, for women, because women know what women want. No dress code, no name tags, just be yourself. Come as you are, we prefer you that way.
Tickets start at $60 plus fees
