FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS:


Why haven't I heard of the conference?
We are new! This is the passion of one of our creators- Chianti Cleggett, and she is finally putting it into motion. We plan to continue this conference every year and hope to become a recognized part of the Birmingham community.

Why do I have to apply?
We want to have an exclusive guest list of deserving girls! We want to make sure you are passionate, proud and willing to learn from our amazing speakers.

Is there any cost to me?
No. There is no cost to you. Thanks to our wonderful sponsors, we are not charging you any fees to participate.

Are you making money off of this?
We are not making a dime and are surviving on kind donations.

Can my parents or friends come along?
No. We want your full attention and no distractions, so your friends who weren't invited cannot attend and parents can only drop you off and pick you up. Parents, if you feel uncomfortable, you are welcome to stand in the back of the conferences if room permits.

What do I wear and bring?
Dress professionally but comfortably - in a skirt and appropriate top, dress, slacks, etc.

What if I can't make it to the conference?
We are asking that you not apply if you cannot attend. You may take the place of another deserving girl who wants to attend. If at the last minute, you cannot make it, we ask that you call the number on your invitation.

Are you providing transportation?
No, currently we do not have the means to provide transportation, but your parents or a family friend are welcome to drop you off at 11 a.m. and pick you back up around 3 p.m.

Can I put this on my resume?

Yes, you certainly can. Receiving an invitation to this conference is an honor. You should definitely add it to your resume!
