Curious about She Dares to Rise conference but want to learn more before March 8?

Join us for a relaxed evening of mingling, connection, and honest conversation. This is your opportunity to hear directly from people who attended last year’s conference and are returning in 2026.

Come meet the founder, Shi Choong, and hear her stories why she left Intel to create this conference. Cam, Kylie, and Hsin-Cheng will share their personal experiences from the 2025 conference: what impacted them, what surprised them, and why they’re coming back. Our 2025 speakers, Christy and Rukshana, will also share why this space matters to them and why they continue to support this movement.

This is not a sales presentation. It’s a conversation. All genders are welcome.

You’ll learn: • What makes She Dares to Rise different from a typical conference • The impact past attendees experienced • Why storytelling and intentional community matter now more than ever

Whether you attended last year or are considering joining us for the first time, this evening is for you.

Come. Listen. Connect. Then decide.

We can’t wait to see you.

With light and gratitude, Shi Choong
