Elevate Summit is an immersive, high impact weekend created for women who are ready to reconnect with themselves, strengthen their confidence, and step into the next level of their personal and professional lives.


Elevate attracts women between the ages of 30-ish and 60-ish who are craving real connection, meaningful growth, and space to focus on themselves without distractions. This is a room of women who are thoughtful, open, and ready for honest conversations that create lasting change.


We are looking for dynamic, engaging speakers who can lead transformational workshops, facilitate powerful discussions, and create experiences that move women into action.


If you have a message that encourages women to trust themselves, own their voice, lead boldly, or grow in business and life, we want to hear from you.


Speakers at Elevate do more than present. They create moments of clarity, confidence, and connection.


Fill out the application below to be considered as a speaker for Elevate Summit. Together, we are building a weekend that women will remember as a turning point.

Workshop Style & Content Guidelines

All workshops should be interactive and participatory. These are not lecture style sessions.


Handouts are encouraged but not required.

Speakers must pre-record their workshop as a backup and for post event attendee access.

Speaker Commitment & Expectations

Being selected as a speaker at Elevate Summit is an exciting opportunity to share your expertise and be part of a powerful, connected weekend. To ensure a meaningful and aligned experience for everyone involved, all speakers are asked to:

Purchase a full summit ticket

Elevate is intentionally designed as an immersive experience rather than a “speak and leave” event. When speakers join as full participants, it creates a more connected, engaged, and supportive environment for everyone in the room. This shared investment helps maintain the integrity, energy, and depth of the Summit experience.

Attend three summit planning meetings

These meetings allow for collaboration, alignment, and communication with the event team to support a smooth and successful weekend.

Follow the provided media guide

Speakers are expected to follow the Media Guide when creating promotional materials to ensure brand consistency and cohesive event visibility.

Actively engage with attendees before, during, and after the event.

Elevate is rooted in connection and community. Speakers are encouraged to be present, approachable, and engaged throughout the weekend.

If this approach to collaboration, community, and shared investment aligns with how you show up in spaces you care about, we would love to review your application.
