Step right up to the perfect blend of serious business growth and restorative belly laughs: FunFerence 2026.

 

From October 7-10, 2026, we're transforming Denver's marvelous Limelight Hotel into a hub of connection, camaraderie, and creativity, exclusively for members of The Dames.

 Is this your moment?

FunFerence is a call to arms (or better yet, hugs and high-fives) for every Dame driven by the core desires to:

  • Elevate her business or career to the next level through a flurry of actionable insights and inspiration
  • Cultivate connections that transcend the transactional in an environment that feels like home (but better)
  • Embrace and frankly heal from the entrepreneurial journey with laughter, joy, and a dash of Dames’ flair.

The Magic of FunFerence, Explained...

Elevate, Celebrate, Repeat

We know your time is precious so we've designed the FunFerence to bring you the very best of The Dames! 

You'll experience business growth education you won't find anywhere else, the Better Together dinner where the networking is as delicious as the food, and a full-day of aligned activities and experiences... plus so many FunFerence only perks.

Past attendees will tell you they took pages and pages of notes and were never once bored. (There’s a reason we don’t call it a conference.)

FunFerence is where your journey accelerates joyfully.

Deep Connections that Count (and Feel Like Family!)

Far beyond the business card, you’ll find the heart of The Dames FunFerence - connections that resonate on a soul level.

Plan to join us for the welcome barbeque the evening before and our excursions the morning after the main event to get the most out of your experience!

Previous years’ events saw countless collaborations, referrals, and honest-to-goodness friendships (among introverts and extroverts alike!). And this year, we’ve built in even more opportunities to meet, mingle, and mastermind.

 

FunFerence is where your network expands, not just with contacts but with companions.

Pause your Day-to-Day Duties to Have Growth Moments!

It can be challenging to walk away from your business for multiple days. That’s why we create the agenda for your “figure-it-all-out-fest” to be as transformational and pleasurable as possible.

 

From our lively group dinners to our cozy small group brainstorming sessions, FunFerence is designed to refuel you.

There is no one way to FunFerence! In fact, there is no right way to FunFerence, either! It's a "come as you are, leave as you want to be" kind of affair.

 

FunFerence is where you’ll slow down, speed up, or spin out something new as needed. 

FunFerence is yours to shape and savor. 

 

If you’re growth-minded and hungry for new skills


Join us for an event beyond compare, featuring mastermind-workshop-style sessions tailored to your revenue, company size, or leadership position.

You’ll receive insights and support specific to your professional growth journey and goals. (Facilitators and other details will be announced as they are finalized!)

You’ll love our “Better Together” dinner party, which is equal parts enlightening and uproarious (and yet somehow introvert-friendly). Followed by our "extrovert fun gala-style night" in the ballroom and our "introvert's quiet connection space" in another room!

As always, we'll have special surprises, experiences, and activations designed to recharge and inspire you.

Even if you just really want to get out of your office


Did we mention The Limelight is our home base this year? The Limelight is known for it's alpine decor, location, gym, spa (including in-room services!), restaurants and more. It's a true escape and one of Denver's most beloved boutique hotels. And it's located right near Denver's Union Station, making transport to the hotel from the airport a cinch!


If you’re ready to strut into your next level with clarity, strategy, and sisterly support - we wholeheartedly invite you to join us.

FAQ

We’re thrilled to be hosting the event at Denver's beloved Limelight Hotel. In their own words:

Limelight Denver is a hub for exploration and connection in the Mile High City, where expansive spaces, floor-to-ceiling windows, and unmatched views await. Steps away from the iconic Union Station, and recently ranked #1 Hotel in Denver by Travel + Leisure, Limelight is a quick stroll to Ball Arena and Coors Field—this is the beating heart of downtown Denver’s urban adventure. Immerse yourself in the city’s culture at the Colorado Symphony, Museum of Contemporary Art, or Red Rocks Amphitheater—all in easy reach. 

     

The room block information will be sent to all pre-sale ticket holders as soon as it is available.

 

For easy access to the event, we recommend flying into Denver International Airport (DIA).
