Be Ready: Panel, Pours & Perspective

Hi everyone! 👋

You're invited to Be Ready: Panel, Pours & Perspective, an evening for women ready to back themselves out loud.

You're already building great things. The question is how you get the world to notice, especially now when everyone has the same AI and tools. Standing out comes down to how you show up as yourself. We've pulled together four founders who each cracked that in their own way to talk honestly about how they did it, with real room for your questions over canapés and drinks. Come meet a room full of women doing the same!

Meet your panel:

• Jessie Li — Founder, Relief X Limited
• Natalie Chan Verb — Founder & Principal, OWN Academy
• Sarah Tong — Co-founder, Big Bang Academy
• Sonia Lau — Founder, CREME CLUB

What to expect?

• A candid panel with these four founders, plus your questions
• Canapés and drinks
• A "find your ally" card at the door, so you've got someone to talk to from the start
• Real networking with female founders, operators, and builders
• Come on your own, leave with an ally.
