When I first walked into Conquer Live in January 2024, I felt that electric mix of nervousness and excitement. I didn’t just hear amazing talks, I found a community of wildly supportive educators and attendees who blurred the line between stage and audience. Many of whom have become close friends. That weekend changed the way I think about conferences…and how I plan for them. Today I spill the tea on how to get the most out of a conference
Whether you’ve dreamed of speaking at a conference or simply want to get more out of attending one, today I’m pulling back the curtain on how to actually leverage these events. Because let’s be honest: Conferences are an investment — of time, energy, and money. Let’s make sure you walk away with something that transforms your business.

Why Conferences Can Be Game-Changers
If you’ve ever left a conference with a notebook full of ideas but no clue what to do next, you’re not alone. What makes events like Conquer Live different is the intentionality behind every moment.
- Small but mighty: With a 2:1 attendee-to-educator ratio, you get real face time with experts.
- Less fluff, more follow-through: There’s dedicated time to implement what you learn before you leave.
- Perfect timing: Held during off-season (hello, January), it’s the ideal moment to work on your business.
You don’t need another folder full of notes. You need clarity, action, and connection. And conferences like Conquer deliver exactly that.

Are You A Charlotte?
In 1997, actress Kristin Davis’ life was forever changed when she took on the role of Charlotte York in Sex and the City. As we watched Carrie, Samantha, Miranda and Charlotte navigate relationships in NYC, the show helped push once unacceptable conversation topics out of the shadows and altered the narrative around women and sex. We all saw ourselves in them as they searched for fulfillment in life, sex and friendships. Now, Kristin Davis wants to connect with you, the fans, and share untold stories and all the behind the scenes. Together, with Kristin and special guests, what will begin with Sex and the City will evolve into talks about themes that are still so relevant today. "Are you a Charlotte?" is much more than just rewatching this beloved show, it brings the past and the present together as we talk with heart, humor and of course some optimism.
