For nearly a decade,  PWN (Professional Women’s Network) has been creating transformational spaces where women walk away better than they came. Our signature experiences—like the Women’s Empowerment Experience and Cocktails & Conversations—consistently earn 100% satisfaction ratings because they combine authentic connection, curated networking, and actionable strategies that help women thrive personally and professionally.

Now, PWN is taking that energy beyond state lines—and Chicago is our first stop.
 
What is ElevateHER?
An empowerment-focused afternoon designed to connect, engage, and inspire women to rise higher in leadership, legacy, and life. Expect an intimate, intentional space where bold conversations meet curated networking. This is not just another event—it’s a movement.

Featured Keynote: Dr. Atiya Abdelmalik
Author. Coach. Transformational Leader.

Dr. Atiya is no stranger to PWN—she first joined us

in 2020 as keynote speaker for “Making Moves and

Making a Difference”, leaving the room charged with

her unapologetic call to action:
“I’m coming for everything they said I couldn’t have.”

This fall, she returns to the PWN stage with more wisdom,

more fire, and more strategy to help women lean into their

purpose, claim their power, and elevate every part of their journey.
