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.

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:
"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?

First of all, welcome to Knoxville! (It's an Entrepreneurial haven!) We have a block of rooms at the Embassy Suites in Downtown Knoxville. Book here!
Questions?
Sorry, but no! We are *so* (so!) excited to be in person, we're going to focus our time and energy on the in-person experience. We hope you can join us in future years!
Great question! It's a not-miss experience. You'll be invited to join us the night before for a swanky (if we do say so) reception with the speakers - food and drink included. (awesome!) You'll also get some special swag, saved seats right up front, and some other goodies we can't tell you about yet...
Have you snagged your ticket yet?
Due to contractual obligations with vendors, location, and staffing, we will not be able to issue refunds if you are unable to attend. You are able to transfer your ticket to another person up to a week before the event.
Yes! And then some. We are partnering with an awesome vendor who will be providing... TBD!
We love the idea of you coming with your entrepreneurial BFF's! The more the merrier! So - groups of 5 or more tickets will get a $100 discount. Yee-haw!
