The view is better from the top.

The real issues for solopreneurs usually don’t show up right away. They come from early decisions that didn’t seem like a big deal at the time, but compound later. In this session, Diane Kennedy, CPA and tax strategist, walks through the core financial foundations every solo business owner needs - from how to think about income, expenses, and structure, to the common mistakes that lead to missed deductions, cash flow stress, and unnecessary taxes. This is a practical, real-world session focused on what actually happens behind the scenes, and how to set things up now so you don’t have to fix it later.

Solopreneurs undersell themselves not because they lack expertise, but because they haven't found the story that makes that expertise stick. In this session, Renee guides attendees through building their personal narrative from the ground up — the through-line that connects who you are, what you do, and why the right clients choose you. You leave with a written positioning statement, ready to use.

The challenge in networking isn't meeting more people. It's activating the relationships you already have. Bailey Hancock shares her Overlap Method to help attendees identify aligned partners, build relationships rooted in reciprocity, and create real opportunities through connection. You leave with a simple framework for evaluating potential partners and making more intentional decisions about where to invest your time.
