Thrive in 2025 Women’s Leadership Conference Comes to Chicago

From rising professionals to seasoned executives and entrepreneurs, women are coming together this June in Chicago for Thrive in 2025, a leadership event designed to create lasting impact. The conference is hosted by Natalie Benamou, founder of HerCsuite® and host of Women Leaders on the Move. This immersive experience runs June 25–28, 2025, and offers more than a traditional conference.

The three days of programming include a full year of support and growth. Attendees receive access to a national network of executive women, personalized coaching and year-round visibility opportunities.

Featured keynote speaker Erin Gallagher, Founder and CEO of Ella and Hype Women Movement, a recognized advocate for gender equity, will deliver “Karma is the New Currency.” Gallagher is known for sparking action and conversation around leadership, voice and real change.

What sets Thrive in 2025 apart?

  • Every speaker and sponsor is attending the full event, not just presenting and leaving.
  • Attendees will have 1-2-1 meeting opportunities, real-time advice sessions and evening experiences to deepen connections.
  • The event is designed to build relationships and momentum that continue long after the final session.

Thrive in 2025 includes

  • 12 months of access to HerCsuite®, a private network for executive women
  • 6 months of small group coaching with Jen Pestikas, CEO of Brave Women at Work
  • 1 year membership with Innovation Women, founded by Bobbie Carlton, to support speaker visibility

“This conference is for women who are ready to take the next step in their career, business, or leadership path, with a community behind them,” said Benamou. “Thrive in 2025 is about meaningful access, lasting results, and women thriving all year long.”
