Influential Encounters exists to connect, encourage, and equip women working in male-majority industries. Through intentionally inspiring programming, like events and learning programs, we create space for women to build real relationships, share their experiences, and grow alongside others who understand the unique challenges and opportunities of their work.
This evening is designed for women across these industries, and those who support, collaborate with, or serve them. Whether you're leading a crew, growing your career, or seeking deeper community in a space where women are underrepresented, you'll find your place here.
Women in Leadership Roles: Women currently leading teams, regions, or businesses who are looking to expand their impact, grow their influence, and invest in others.
Aspiring Leaders: Women ready to take the next step in their careers, step into leadership opportunities, and build confidence in their unique value and voice.
Industry Professionals: Operators, account managers, sales reps, admin leaders, and any woman working directly in a male-majority field who wants to connect, grow, and be encouraged.
Supporters of the Industry: Spouses, partners, or women in adjacent roles who support someone in the field and want to be part of this encouraging and empowering network.
Collaborators, Vendors & Partners: Professionals from related fields, including vendors, suppliers, manufacturers, or service partners, who work alongside these industries and want to build relationships, support the advancement of women, and grow their presence.
No matter what your role is, you are important in the work of recognizing that women are, and can continue to be, a driving force in these spaces.
