We deliver inspiration & engagement.

Our mission is to create lasting experiences for women, close to home. Since 2016, our She’s Local team of volunteers have created and sustained local conferences for women in six regions of New England. We average 600 attendees at each in-person event, skillfully bringing together speakers, vendors, entertainers, sponsors, attendees, business owners and community leaders. Through the pandemic, we pivoted successful to an all-virtual platform, maintaining the energy, connections and inspiration for local women.  This year we are working towards our 5th conference, returning to an in-person setting, with a virtual component at the Framingham Sheraton on September 30, 2021.

We are different from every other local conference for women in the country. 

  • We are affordable.
  • We are personal and intimate.
  • We highlight and connect local women.
  • We bring you relatable, relevant information.
Relevant Topics
Customized for Local Women

Each local conference is customized to the women in their community. In the four months leading up to the conference, we host local in-person and virtual meetups to gather the important topics that matter to the women we serve. We then ask local experts to apply to be panelists on conference day.  Once the topics are collected and the application process closes, we then match local speakers to the topics that matter to women in the area.

 
Relatable Women
Women Living Similar Lives
Each of our panels are made up of three local experts: real, accessible, relatable women from the local community. Women who will answer a phone call or meet for coffee, close by.  We match these experts with each other so they can weave together their passion and purpose for a well thought-out and informative session for our audience. Over the course of 3 months, panelists meet and customize their panel format, title, description and key take-aways, all while being promoted through our She’s Local social and digital channels prior to, during and following their local conference.


Affordable for ALL

A Ticket Price We Can Feel Good About Investing
We want to make information and inspiration accessible to ALL.  Our in-person conference tickets remain at $52 for a full-day conference including breakfast, lunch, coffee-all-day, and complementary wine during a post conference DJ-hosted celebration.  A dollar a week to invest in yourself is something we can feel good about.  We will include a Virtual component this year, making the opportunity to connect with local women, even more accessible.  We also give scholarships to women struggling to make ends meet, female veterans and survivors of domestic violence.

A Message From Our Board

After four years of sold-out conferences, we remain excited and committed to our goal to add information, resources, networking and mentoring within the MetroWest region that increases the opportunities available to all women as we lead into our 5th year.

We will continue to do this with accessible, relevant, and local experiences featuring topics that matter most to our region.

The annual MetroWest Conference For Women will inspire, connect, motivate and move local women through every stage along their path.
