Who is this event for?

Stelar is designed for business owners and the key people around them: ambitious builders, innovators, and change-makers who are hungry for growth and ready for what’s next. Whether you run your business solo, lead a small team or are part of a growing enterprise, this experience will meet you where you are and expand your thinking for what comes next.

Is this for women only?

While the event will naturally resonate most with women, it is inclusive and open to all. Stelar is a welcoming space for everyone — whatever your gender identity — who shares our values and vision for a business world strengthened by women-led conversations and inclusive leadership.

What makes this event different?

Stelar isn’t a one-day conference, it’s a complete, facilitated journey. Your experience begins weeks before the event with pre-event audio conversations designed to open your thinking, and continues afterward with structured follow-up and accountability. 

With over 18 years of facilitation expertise and hundreds of events delivered across multiple countries, we understand what creates genuine outcomes: thoughtfully crafted experiences that lead to lasting change — not just impressive speakers on stage. Facilitated workshops ensure you leave with practical action steps, as well as inspiration.

Is it a conference, a workshop, or a networking event?

It’s all of these, and more. Stelar combines the best of each: the inspiration of a keynote stage, the depth of a workshop, and the connection of a networking event, woven together through expert facilitation.

Expect an experience that moves seamlessly between ideas and interaction, offering meaningful dialogue, guided reflection, and practical momentum. Every element is designed to serve the people in the room.

What’s included in my ticket?

Your investment covers the complete Stelar experience:
  • Pre-event audio sessions to prime your mindset and prepare you for what’s ahead.
  • The full-day live event, featuring speakers, facilitation, and powerful conversation.
  • On-site lunch at the event.
  • Post-event follow-through with built-in accountability and community support.

What if I’m new to business?

While those with established businesses will benefit best, Stelar has been thoughtfully designed to meet you exactly where you’re at — whether you’re in your first year or decades into your journey. With 18+ years of facilitation experience and hundreds of events delivered, we know how to create space that challenges and supports participants across every stage of business. Those new to business will leave with plenty of inspiration and great connections to set you up for success.
