HER In Focus is built for the mid-career professionals ready to own the room and the founders who needs someone who's already been there.

The rooms where the work gets done. The conversations that move things forward. The people who make the next yes possible.

Why we exist

Too many women are building alone.

In rooms where they're the only one. That's expensive. That's exhausting. We exist so the women building what's next have the network, the resources, and the people to move faster. Together.

Community at empowHER

Community doesn't happen by accident.

We build it on purpose. Curated rooms, real conversations, and a network that shows up long after the event ends.

Events

Beautifully run gatherings built for real conversation, not surface-level networking. Workshops, panels, dinners. Every format chosen because it works.

Partnerships

We bring the brands worth knowing into the room. Tools, deals, and partners that actually serve the way you build.

Community

8,000+ women across ecommerce, retail, and beyond. The kind of network that refers, invests, and keeps showing up.

WHAT WE'RE ABOUT

We are not a directory. We are not a course.

We've been in the hollow masterminds. The networking events that go nowhere. The group chats that die in a week. We knew there had to be something better. So we built it.

The conversations you've been missing

The ones where someone finally gets what you're building, and has something real to say about it. That's the standard for every HER in Focus room.

Women who get it done

The right people in your corner change the trajectory of your business. This is where you find them, build with them, and grow alongside them.

Don't Take Our Word For It

Every event I’ve attended has left me feeling more inspired and connected. It’s hard to find a community of women who are so open about both the wins and the challenges of leadership. Thank you, Nicole, for curating such an incredible group of women and creating a space that truly uplifts and empowers us.

I have been a part of empowHER for two years, and the connections and professional relationships I have made are unparalleled.

Each event is a testament to their commitment to excellence, meticulously planned and executed with the utmost attention to detail. These gatherings are not only enjoyable but also profoundly enriching, tailored to inspire, empower, and support us in our career journeys.

I've loved working with Nicole and the emopwHER team. Nicole has a real talent of creating events that drive amazing conversation and connections. Every time Horatio sponsors an empowHER event, I know for a fact that it will be organized, meaningful, and a great use of our time and resources. Can't wait for many more events to come!

What makes empowHer so special is how holistic it is. The events go far beyond dinners and networking : from mental health workshops to public speaking sessions, yoga classes, and skill-building events that help us grow not just as professionals, but as humans. I’ve learned so much by just showing up.
