The event you crave has a new Southern flavor.
  From October 7-10, 2026, Dames from around the country and around the world will converge to recharge, reconnect, and restore themselves as only a FunFerence can.Â
We don’t do boring. We don’t do transactional, either.
Â
We believe in high-caliber business learning, profound conversations, deep trust, and uncontrollable laughter all in the same room. Whether this is your first FunFerence or your fourth, you're invited to adjust your tiara and step right up to the perfect blend of serious business growth and restorative community playtime.
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!Â
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.)
Â
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.
Â
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.
Â
FunFerence is where you’ll slow down, speed up, or spin out something new as needed.
You won’t be sitting through pitch decks or clapping on cue.
The FunFerence is a co-created experience.
The value & the vibe come from the women in the room... and yes, that includes you.
This Is For You If...
-
You’ve built something real and substantial... and want to talk shop with women who don’t need the basics explained
-
You’re energized by intelligent conversations that stretch your thinking and sharpen your edge
-
You believe meaningful connection and strong strategy go hand in hand
-
You’re looking for a space where your value is obvious, not something you have to prove
This is not for those who treat connection like a transaction, show up to pitch instead of participate, or bounce the moment the spotlight shifts. We’re here to build, generously and joyfully, together.Â

We'll have Monaco Glow's mobile tanning van there to give you that mid-summer glow thanks to Dame Ashley Jackson! Engage in games and laughter-filled conversations. |

Expect immersive experiences, networking that feels more like a reunion than a chore, dedicated pod time to deepen bonds, and surprises that make every moment matter. For the first time ever, this experience is open to both Dames members and guests, amplifying the energy, connections, and magic in the room. Come curious, leave ignited.
Please note this event does not provide breakfast so be sure to eat first! There will be snacks.Â

Day of Fun! Step into the vibrant charm of Charleston with curated experiences designed to honor the city’s uniqueness: from the flavors that define its culinary scene to the sights and sounds that make it unforgettable. Whether you're strolling with longtime friends or forging new connections, these thoughtfully chosen activities offer a fresh, modern take on Southern hospitality. Soak in the beauty, savor the moments, and let the essence of contemporary Charleston elevate your FunFerence adventure. |
Why Charleston?
Charleston is one of the most magnetic cities in the country: charming, creative, stylish, and full of spark. The same could be said for the Dames who call this chapter home. We simply couldn't be more excited to have our first mini FunFerence with the Charleston Chapter. You’ll be in great company, whether you're local or traveling in.
We’ve chosen Charleston to host this first-ever "Mini" FunFerence because the energy here is unmatched. You’ll feel it from the moment you walk in the room.
Plus - for the First Time -  We’re Opening the Doors to Guests
Until now, every Dames FunFerence has been members-only. That’s been intentional. We protect the quality of our spaces and the integrity of our conversations.
But we also know how rare this kind of environment is and how valuable it is to find people who speak your language and genuinely want to help you succeed.
So for the first time, we’re inviting non-members to come spend the day with us. Our goal is to grow your network in delightful, powerful, and even unpredictable ways.

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.Â
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).
Come and experience the magic that happens when powerful women play.
If professional AND personal growth, win-win collaboration, and raucous celebration are your jam, we’ll see you on November 7th, 2025 in gorgeous Charleston, SC!
*Please plan on being in town as of November 6th so that you can join us for the welcome happy hour, too!
