Your permission to do the next big thing.

MONDAY, DECEMBER 4TH, 2023    KNOXVILLE, TN

A BOUTIQUE CONFERENCE FOR FEMALE ENTREPRENEURS
(BY FEMALE ENTREPRENEURS)

It all started with an aha.
(doesn't it always?...)

You rock your job, chauffeur kids like a boss, support your friends, make sure the team is good to go, and manage things at home... yet you wonder (don’t we all?): 

If this dream is going to happen, it’s up to me. 

Can I really do this?

The reality sinks in - it’s up to you to bring that idea and dream to life - or to the next stage of awesomeness.


And you think maybe you can!

If ... you had the Permission. 

The thing is - you do.

GET TICKETS

Uh Oh.

You know the moment. The moment when your stomach flips with the boldness of an idea brewing in your brain…

And you look around and realize: 

YOU are the Permission Slip holder.
YOU. 

To dream BIGGER than any person or space or construct has ever allowed.

You have Permission to dream big

To show up authentically and unapologetically.

You have Permission to be bold

To allow your idea to live and breathe in the world.

You have Permission to take up space

"When I dare to be powerful, to use my strength in the service of my vision, then it becomes less and less important whether I am afraid."
~Audre Lorde

YOU have Permission.

Welcome to The Permission Slip Conference

Because the world needs what only you can give.

An entire day where we say YES, YOU CAN to whatever dream is inside you...

At Permission Slip, you're going to discover some of the most Rah Rah people you’ll ever meet.
(And we will Rah Rah you to wherever you want to go!)
But - these are the important questions:

Where do you want to go? And how do you want to get there?  

This whole day is about giving you permission to do it in the way that works for you.
We’re giving you permission, for sure.
But more importantly, we're giving you the tools to

Write your own d*mn Permission Slip.

Challenge the norms you've been taught, what you may have experienced and been stung by already -
 and to the ideas that are keeping you small and holding you back.

(and you don't need it from us)

Don’t let YOU be the reason you don’t do what you should/want/are meant to be doing.

Hi. We're Erika & Sally

Your hosts for the day!

A Professional Nudger and Aggressively Helpful Entrepreneur walk into a bar...

Ok, there was probably a margarita involved...  But in 2022, sitting at a retreat for entrepreneurs (pre-margarita) dreaming about what was possible for our businesses... we looked at each other and recognized a shared dream: to bring women together and provide a catalyst for their dreams.  

We believe that women are capable of anything at all - and belong out front  to move the world with their ideas. 

And so The Permission Slip Conference was born out of friendship and deep desire to unleash women's potential. 

Your potential. 

Will you join us?
