The Marketplace | January 21st, 2026

By and for women and non-binary innovators, leaders, and creators

Wednesday, January 21st | 12:00-1:15 PM PST | 3:00 PM EST | 8:00 PM GMT | 9:00 AM NZT (Jan 22)

Most networking leaves you exhausted. This refills you.

In 75 minutes, women share the skills that don't fit on LinkedIn profiles. A wealth advisor connects with a regenerative design founder. Someone teaching sourdough helps solve a strategy problem. The thing you didn't know you needed finds you.

This is a held space where you don't have to perform.

Your weekend skills matter as much as your job title. Your authentic needs get met with generosity, not judgment. You leave with actual connections, not just business cards you'll never follow up on.

What happens in 75 minutes:

Offers Market - Share what you can provide (systematically, so everyone's voice is heard)

Needs Market - Name what you're actually seeking (the stuff you don't usually say out loud)

Harvest & Connect - Real-time partnership formation

No pitches. No elevator speeches. Just the kind of conversation that reminds you why you do this work in the first place.

Who this is for:

Women and non-binary folks running their own companies. Leaders navigating uncertainty. Founders building something that matters. Anyone who's brilliant at what they do but working way too alone.

Women in finance, technology, innovation, design, consulting, coaching, nonprofit leadership, and everything adjacent.

If you hate typical networking events, you'll probably love this one.

Your facilitators:

Meg Buzzi, PCC - Facilitator and coach who's spent 15+ years designing spaces where meaningful connection actually happens

Sarah Durlacher, MBA - Change management expert who's been working in innovation ecosystems since 2010 and knows how to help groups move through complexity together

Together, we've refined this format through months of testing and participant feedback. We know what works.
