Founding Year Early Bird — first 20 seats only · Be part of the first ever EMpowered Live
You're building something real. You know it. But the people around you don't always get it — the decisions, the pressure, the relentless responsibility of making it work.
When you don't have the right people around you, ambition starts to feel like a burden you carry alone.
EMpowered Live is the room where that changes.
A room where ambition is completely normal. Where women talk openly about business. Where the woman next to you is building something too — and is genuinely rooting for you. No ego. No judgement. No comparison. Just women showing up for themselves and for each other.
The right room at the right time doesn't just inspire you. It changes what you think is possible.
You don't need another generic networking lunch. You need a room of women who get it — where the conversations go deeper, the connections feel real, and you leave with momentum that actually lasts.
Just women showing up for themselves — and for each other.
The day is electric — inspiring, strategic, emotional and fun. The kind of day where you laugh, cry, think harder than you have in years and leave with more energy than you walked in with. The evening is a full-on celebration — because joy isn't a reward for when you've done enough. It's part of the plan.
Doors open 8:30am. The day runs until approximately 4:30pm.
Doors open 7pm, runs until 1am.
At the end of the conference day, the room transforms. Chairs back. Music up. Every woman in a circle.
You're going to walk barefoot across broken glass. You're going to place an arrow at your throat and walk forward until it snaps.
Because the broken pieces? They don't hold you back. They make you.
This is where you put yourself back together. This is where you step into the most EMpowered version of you. Optional. Safe. And something you will carry with you long after the day is over.
Every participant pays a £25 registration fee — every penny goes directly to Resolute Women's Support Services, matched pound for pound by our charity sponsor.

The women attending EMpowered Live are founders, creators and decision-makers — building businesses across every industry.
Some are earlier in their business. Others are already well established. But every woman in the room has one thing in common — she's building something. And she means it.
"Warm, welcoming, and clearly very well thought through. The atmosphere feels genuine and supportive rather than sales-driven. A refreshing and enjoyable experience."
"Emily encourages women to be confident. I was nervous coming but by the end I felt completely different. Would 100% recommend."
"I walked away feeling seen, supported, and much less alone in my professional journey. I went into my interviews that week feeling strong, fierce and determined."
You walk in at 8:30am. The room is already buzzing. Women you've never met — hugging like old friends, laughing, meaning every word. Nobody is shrinking. Nobody is playing it safe. The energy hits you before you've even got your coffee.
You find your seat and realise — these are your people. Confident. Passionate. Motivated. Aligned. Women who are here because they mean it, just like you.
During the day you laugh. You cry. You write faster than you can think. You have conversations that feel like permission — permission to be bigger, louder, more ambitious than you've been letting yourself be. You feel inspired in a way that doesn't wear off by Wednesday.
At 4:30pm you walk on glass. You break an arrow. You stand in a circle of women who just did something extraordinary together and feel — for the first time or the hundredth — that you are exactly where you are supposed to be.
Then at 7pm you walk back in — red carpet, glass of fizz, the room transformed. Dinner. Drag Bingo. Dancing until 1am. Unapologetically, joyfully, completely yourself.
You go home different. You work differently the week after. Things shift. People notice.
That's what belonging feels like.

Award-winning entrepreneur, speaker and one of Yorkshire's most recognised voices for ambitious women in business. Founder of EMpowered with Emily and EMpowered Media. Mum of two — and most importantly, she'll tell you, that's the one that matters most.
She started young — as a teenage mum going to business networking events with her baby in tow, backing herself in rooms where she wasn't always sure she belonged.
She's spoken to audiences of 25,000+, built Facebook communities of 39,900+ women entrepreneurs and helped hundreds of business owners transform their results. She hosts The EMpire Diaries Podcast and runs monthly networking events in Leeds and Sheffield.
EMpowered Live is the event she always wished existed when she was that young mum in the room. So she built it.
Most women come on their own — and leave with connections they keep. The networking at EMpowered Live is structured, so you won't be standing in a corner wondering who to approach. You'll meet dozens of women before lunch.
One idea from a keynote can be worth thousands. One connection made in the right room can open a door you didn't know existed. One conversation over lunch can change the direction of a business. The ticket price is the smallest part of what you take home — and you can split it into 3 with Klarna if you want to.
Doors open at 8:30am — teas, coffees and pastries are served from arrival. The conference programme starts at 9:30am and runs until approximately 4:30pm. The evening celebration opens at 7pm and runs until 1am.

She walked in and felt it immediately. The laughter. The energy. The confidence in the room. Women hugging women they'd just met. Passion and alignment everywhere she looked.
She walked on glass. She broke an arrow. She danced until she dropped. She made new friends for life. She went home at 1am with sore feet and a full heart.
She went home knowing she'd finally found her people.
That woman is you. The only question is whether you're going to show up for her.
You can sit with us.
