Women’s Power Forum Set to Empower Female Leaders in St. Petersburg on February 20
St. Petersburg, get ready to feel inspired and empowered! On February 20, from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m., the buzz is all about the Women’s Power Forum taking place at the beautiful Mahaffey Theater in downtown. This exciting event is all about bringing ambitious women together while showcasing the theme of “ambition meets opportunity.”
The mission behind the forum is sparkly simple yet profoundly impactful: to empower women, encouraging them to protect their power and own their success. How awesome is that? With the local real estate broker Julianna Bertrand and financial planner Gina Tedesco at the helm, you know this is going to be an event designed with heart and purpose. For those who have attended previous forums in Bradenton and Sarasota, this one promises to be equally, if not more, electrifying!
Empowering Line-up and Highlights
One of the biggest highlights of the forum will be the keynote address from the fabulous Debbie Lundberg. As a two-time TED speaker, author, and performance coach, she’s bound to leave everyone feeling on top of the world. Her talk titled “Elevate Your Confidence: Crush Imposter Syndrome and Own Your Success” will inspire attendees to step into their power and embrace their strengths. Now that’s a message we could all use!
Adding a special flair to the event, Lisa Vickers, the CEO of the Speer Dream Foundation, will be celebrated as the 2025 Power Woman of St. Petersburg. Isn’t it fantastic to honor women making significant strides in our community?
A Fun Day with More Than Just Talks
The Women’s Power Forum isn’t just about the speeches, though. It’s also designed to be a fun-filled experience! Attendees can look forward to a delightful catered lunch, and a full bar to sip on refreshing drinks while soaking in the atmosphere. And to keep the energy alive, there’ll be a live DJ spinning tunes! Imagine networking over good food and vibrant music; sounds like a perfect recipe for success!
Adding even more excitement, the St. Petersburg Police Department and their SWAT Team will make a special appearance featuring their robotic dog. Now that’s something you don’t see every day! This unique collaboration adds a touch of community spirit to the proceedings, making it not just about women but about everyone coming together.
Making Connections at the Power Lunch
This year’s forum is presented as a “power lunch”, lasting three hours instead of the usual four to five. This shorter format allows participants to immerse themselves in the experience while keeping things concise and energizing. What’s more, each participant will walk away with a Powerplay Workbook, designed to help them engage with new insights and continue their growth beyond the event.
And why stop there? While the forum primarily targets women, it’s open to men as well! Everyone is encouraged to join in this empowering conversation. Building genuine connections and creating lasting relationships is at the heart of this forum, and you won’t want to miss out!
Get Your Tickets!
If you’re excited to be a part of this transformative event, tickets are available for $105, and can be easily purchased online. Mark your calendars, invite your friends, and get ready for a day filled with motivation, connection, and empowerment!
So, St. Petersburg, are you ready to embrace your ambition and seize the opportunity? The Women’s Power Forum is the place to be on February 20. See you there!
