Beyond the room

Connection is designed into every Accelerate experience.

Accelerate creates intentional ways for women to connect before, during, and after the retreat—moving beyond surface networking toward relationships grounded in shared industry experience, thoughtful dialogue, and mutual support.

Pre-event gatherings open the conversation. Thoughtful design deepens it in the room. Leadership Cohorts create a place to reconnect afterward. Together, these touchpoints foster a community of support.

Participant perspectiveConnection that carries forward.

Before the retreat

Early points of connection

Pre-event meetups begin the Flagship journey, while Accelerate on the Move creates additional opportunities to connect through industry and partner gatherings.

In the room

Connection by design

Intentional table assignments, Leadership Cohort discussion groups, and between-session moments of connection and networking help women move beyond introductions into meaningful conversation.

After the retreat

Leadership Cohorts

Two post-retreat virtual Leadership Cohort sessions create space to reconnect, reflect, and support the application of new insights after the in-person experience.
