Second Half Summit
Experience for Women 40, 50, 60+ Building Something Bigger
Two days in Denver. Business, careers, money, and life. Formerly BizLifeCon.
Built for Women Who Already Know What They’re Doing
You’re not starting over. You’re going for more.
A day and a half of straight answers from women who’ve built real things, some just starting something new and others who’ve been in the game for years. Plus, the Second Half Summit is for the other side of you: your health, your energy, and the life you want your work to pay for. All the things we go through in middlescence and beyond.
Why Now
Because It’s Our Time. Your Experience Is the Advantage
Here’s what we know as your hosts, as women’s advocates and pro-agers:
45 is the average founder age behind the fastest-growing new U.S. companies.
64% of workers 50+ have seen or experienced age discrimination at work.
Women own roughly 40% of all U.S. businesses.
And frankly, a lot of business-only conferences are built for 28-year-olds with a pitch deck or filled with information you’ve heard and inspirational speakers leaving you with your thoughts but not a journal filled with notes.
Meanwhile, you’re the one starting nearly half of new businesses, often while caring for parents, raising kids, or both. Employers look right past your experience. Your network has changed. And the advice out there rarely fits a woman who already knows what she’s doing and wants to know what’s next – or what she wants to do when she grows up – again.
The Second Half Summit fixes that.
Agenda Highlights
What’s on Stage and in Rooms
Less theory, more action. Every talk ends with something you do, not just something you heard. From 20-minute moderated conversations to 30-minute working sessions, firesides, panels, and table talks.
Business Growth and Founder Control to Build Even Better
Scaling past the early hustle, pricing for profit after year four, and knowing when growth means more focus, not more offers.
Life, Health and Longevity to Uphealth to Add to Your Chapters
Menopause, hormones and energy, caring for aging parents, and building success that includes rest and real life.
Visibility and Authority in a World Who Thinks We’re Invisible
Turning your experience into credibility and demand, and being known for something specific instead of everything.
Money and Smart Operations to Go Next Level
Cash flow clarity, paying yourself well, and contracts and negotiations that protect your work.
Connection and Community to Create Third Spaces
Relationships that move your business forward, and collaborating without overextending yourself.
Full agenda posting soon.
