RumFish Lawn at The TradeWinds Resort

Kick off the conference at Mermaids & Martinis, a breezy oceanfront welcome reception where professional women can unwind, connect, and toast to new opportunities with coastal cocktails, light bites, and inspiring conversation.
Attendees are encouraged to channel the magic of the sea and let their inner mermaid shine—think flowing fabrics, shimmering accents, ocean hues, and a touch of sparkle. Embrace the fun, get creative, and make waves with your look.
Be sure to stop by the Coral Connection between 4:45 – 5:30 p.m. to create your own look with fairy hair and sea sparkles.
