SOTWI is the anti-conference and much more intimate format where you can actually have a layered conversation about business and set goals.
Brian Worley,

Described as the “Anti-conference” is the perfect! NO egos, NO attitude, and NO frills… [It] is pure networking at its core. Free-flowing, thought-provoking communication that inspires all levels of expertise to learn from and inspire each other! It was such a fun afternoon of camaraderie.

What a wonderful afternoon of sharing and community. The packed wedding masterclass is a must-attend. There’s nothing like a safe place to learn and grow. The perfect way to start the new year.

I have been to several SOTWI events and locations, and I absolutely love the addition of the Mastermind Dinners. The broader networking and the panels are amazing during the day, but it's not often that any of us get a chance to sit down and really hear what others are thinking, share my own challenges, and get meaningful perspectives from a whole room of others who are or have been in a similar boat. The Mastermind dinners let us do exactly that. It's such a rare treat to be surrounded by great company, amazing food, and a quiet atmosphere. I always walk away feeling like I can take on tomorrow with confidence, especially with the new local friends and potential partnerships I made around the table.

Megan is the kind of community organizer you can't help but be drawn to. Her energy, industry insight, and genuine desire to connect like-minded folks initially drew me to participate in The Wedding Masterclass. Receiving such a warm welcome in a creative, collaborative environment free from the competitive undertones that can often plague networking events was such a breath of fresh air for me. Her ability to foster that environment is what has kept me, and so many, coming back for more meet-ups since. Having those real conversations with fellow small business owners has played an invaluable part in staying inspired and motivated through all the trials that this path brings. Megan is such a dedicated advocate for bringing us together and for that, I am so grateful!
