PLEASE NOTE THIS EVENT IS NOW SOLD OUT, AND WE WON'T BE ACCEPTING WALK-INS ON THE EVENT DAY.
The Rise Summit: Female Financial Empowerment is designed to be a pathway to demystify the world of finance and funding, and support women in embracing their economic power and influence in business and in life through a curated event geared towards providing a vibrant and safe space for abundance, connection, and learning.
We will bring together key stakeholders, experts, and leaders to provide valuable knowledge, resources, and connections to help women navigate the world of money, and untangle their relationship with it to fuel their financial growth so that nothing can hold them back.
We are curating a lineup of speakers that transcends borders, bringing together a diverse array of leaders and experts from Malaysia and beyond. This summit isn't just about talks; it's a convergence of industry stakeholders, placing female founders and women in business front and center. The Summit will go beyond conventional events, helping all guests to unlock a new era of financial growth in their life and business.
This isn't just a summit; it's a movement.
Whether you're aiming to understand the intricacies of your money mindset, enhance your personal financial literacy or seeking strategies to grow and fund your business, this unique event is designed to exceed your needs.
