Star power meets strategy at Create & Cultivate’s biggest event yet
This is the first year Create & Cultivate has partnered with Chase Ink on the Create & Cultivate Festival, working together to foster creativity, innovation and collaboration among business owners.
The inaugural Create & Cultivate Festival sponsored by Chase Ink will mark the brand’s largest event, offering over 100 sessions across two days. Attendees can expect hands-on workshops and high-impact one-on-one networking opportunities. The event will also feature start-up pitch competitions, industry-specific panels and keynote sessions. Additional highlights include live podcasts and an experiential pop-up market showcasing exciting women-focused consumer brands and products.
“We are pioneering a new kind of event designed to meet the needs of modern businesswomen more effectively,” said Marina Middleton, CEO & Partner of Create & Cultivate. “Most women-focused event experiences focus exclusively on empowerment or are reserved for side events of large industry-specific conferences built only for industry optics. The Create & Cultivate Festival will break down industry barriers to unite a newly formed community of ambitious women across business, tech, sports, entertainment, hospitality, finance and culture.”
Festival attendees will receive access to CONNECT, Create & Cultivate’s data-enabled, AI-powered one-to-one meetings platform, ensuring ROI from the event. This cutting-edge app will facilitate thousands of 15-minute one-on-one meetings on-site. It analyzes attendee profiles to create a curated, personalized list of connections. These matches align with individual goals—whether connecting with a mentor or finding an investor.
“With CONNECT, we are not just hosting the most unique event for women in the business of 2025; we are ensuring it’s the most productive for every woman attending,” added Jaclyn Johnson, Founder & Partner of Create & Cultivate. “The Create & Cultivate Festival is our most ambitious venture, set to become the annual must-attend event for women looking to elevate their careers, expand their network and make meaningful business connections.”
