What to Expect

Meaningful Connections & Interactive Networking 

This isn't just a panel—it's an opportunity to build your network in a truly meaningful way. We've designed this session with interactive elements that go beyond the typical networking event. Through small group activities and guided discussions, you'll have the chance to connect with fellow attendees on a deeper level. 

We invite you to come with an open mind and heart, ready to share, listen, and forge authentic connections with other women in the industry.


Educational Panel:
A Decade of Dreams
 

Following the premiere of Jade Jackson's new tribute song to Dream Big Darling, join us for an inspiring and honest conversation with industry leaders. This panel will go beyond professional resumes to explore the real stories behind success. Our panelists will share their personal journeys, discussing:

  • The Big Dream: What was the one professional goal that drove you forward? 

  • The Village: How have mentors, peers, and others supported you along your path? 

  • The Turning Point: When did you feel like giving up, and what did you do to reshape your focus and find new momentum? 

  • Paying It Forward: What key advice would you offer to others who are just beginning their journey in the industry? 

This is a unique opportunity to hear from trailblazers about resilience, community, and the true meaning of empowerment!


A Captivating Concert by Jade Jackson 

Be a part of a truly special moment as we conclude our event with a captivating performance by acclaimed Nashville recording artist Jade Jackson. Known for her powerful storytelling and soulful voice, Jade will take the stage to perform a selection of her songs before unveiling a new, original tribute song written specifically for Dream Big Darling.
