Brand Building: Integrating Connection, Credibility, Community & Conversation
February 4, 2026: 11am-12pm
Calling all women creating community driven brands – this is the POWERChat for you! This discussion reframes community not just as a following, but as a living exchange of connection and conversation. We’ll examine why community also relies on the founder’s confidence, character, and conviction, and how those qualities shape the culture that ultimately accelerates engagement, trust, and long-term loyalty. We’ll spotlight how hyper-local specificity can be a superpower in cultivating a highly curated, taste-led identity that resonates deeply with the right audience. Whether you’re launching a brand or preparing to scale, let’s turn passion into lasting community impact.
