As seen in…

Making friends as a grown woman can be…AWKWARD AWESOME

The Small Town Social® is here to make it easier.

Introducing…

GLOWcon.

The Small Town Social’s first-ever full-day female conference in Moore County to help women from all walks of life deepen the connections they have with themselves AND others. A day for forming friendships that last and filling a room full of laughter and light so you can take your natural next step forward.

Eager to explore your passions and do more of what sets your soul on fire?

This is your safe space to unleash your YOU.

After decades of attending events, I finally created the one I wanted to attend. The one that would give me a safe space to be ALL THE WAY MYSELF and not the version of me that was just business, career, mom, [insert whatever other title].

I wanted to create an event that felt like a full-on treat-yourself-day where I could be surrounded by other kick@$$ women who are also eager to shine their light.

But, above all, I want to help you…

BOLDLY step into your power.

Treat yourself to a day of connection with yourself + others

MAYBE YOU’RE…

  • Feeling lonely and isolated in your day-to-day life.

  • Longing to make genuine connections in person without the pressure of partying or drinking alcohol.

  • Interested in meeting other like-minded women your age but just aren’t sure how or where to turn.

  • Shy and often dread going to events or social gatherings alone around town.

  • Frustrated, bored, drained, and feeling absolutely overwhelmed by social media.

  • Struggling to find the right support.

THAT ENDS HERE, K?

Whatever it is for you, it’s time to SHINE, baby.

Get ready to GLOW, girl.

A conference for women to grow, learn, connect, and win together under one roof.

Meet your host

Liz Fleming, Founder + CEO of The Small Town Social®

This event is brought to you by Liz Fleming, Founder + CEO of The Small Town Social®.

Liz started The Small Town Social® in March 2018 when she first moved to Pinehurst, NC + wasn’t sure how to make friends as a grown woman. Today, six years and over 50 events later, The Small Town Social® supports thousands of women throughout the area (and beyond!) with its popular socials, immersive personal + professional development workshops, off-site retreats, and annual women’s conference, GLOWcon, attracting women from as far as Raleigh and Charlotte, NC, Virginia and New York.

GLOWcon is Liz’s dream brought to life - a day of deep dives, group coaching, and connection meant to help women step boldly into their power.

As an award-winning marketer by trade, Liz brings her 13+ years of public relations and communications experience to The Small Town Social® — a pivotal reason why the group has seen such exciting growth over the years. She’s been interviewed by Forbes and Business Insider, and frequently speaks at events around the country about the power of relationship-building and networking.

Not your average conference.

There are a lot of events, summits, trainings + workshops out there right now.

So what makes this one different?

First, this event was created specifically for women who are primarily interested in networking and personal development.

This isn't general advice for everyone. Every single offering is specialized and unique to women and, even more so, the women here in our community, making it a whole lot more impactful.

But more importantly, I’m not here to add to your plate.

My goal isn't to throw a pile of work at you, leaving you feeling overwhelmed. Instead, I’m here to take who you already are and what you're already doing + help you step even further into your power as a female.

To make the learning process as simple as possible, the conference has a unique theme:

G.L.O.W.

My mission is to help you shine your inner light brighter than ever before.

IT'S TIME TO...

IT'S TIME TO...

Build your ideal support system

Finally do something for YOU

Gain clarity on what you REALLY want to be, do, and have

Try something new

Shine YOUR light

“I want to give women the chance to connect with themselves + others in a way that allows them to win every.damn.day.”

— Liz Fleming, Founder + CEO, The Small Town Social®

✦ FAQ 

  • It sure is! There are a lot of offerings out there for everyone but this one has been created specifically for the women of Moore County who are eager to build their connections and their confidence in a safe space together.

  • Of course! What better way to start your journey with STS than at GLOWcon?! This event (along with all of our other programs) is open to ALL women, whether you’ve attended a social or not. And, if you’re traveling from outside Moore County, that’s cool too!

  • No. Due to the deep nature of the work we’re doing together throughout this full day, this is a ticketed event that requires pre-registration. Tickets must be purchased in advance of the event + cannot be purchased at the door.

  • This event is 21+. We expect a wide range of ages to attend, 28-58 being our most popular range. We've had women in their 70s and 80s show up to our events too. It's awesome. Friendship is timeless, baby. If you feel called to come, COME. If you’re not sure, email me :)

  • Heck, no! The Small Town Social® welcomes women from ALL walks of life throughout Moore County (and a bit beyond too!). This event supports all women, not just moms, military spouses or business owners. Our goal with this event is to help you deepen the relationship you have with yourself AND others. Maybe you unearth a new interest you didn’t know you had OR you end up partnering with someone on a project. The opportunities are endless!

  • YES. YES. YES!! This day is designed for YOU to boldly step into YOUR power. Come alone or with a couple of girlfriends - whatever feels right for you! We don’t do cliquey. The Small Town Social is a supportive community of women who build each other up, not tear each other down. Let us help you follow your heart!

  • Early Bird tickets for this event are available for purchase January 9-19. After that, any remaining tickets can be purchased at the standard full ticket price. Gotta be quick if you want the goods! As always, our email subscribers get the best deal.

  • No. Refunds for paid events are not available as we need to purchase materials, and products, and confirm meals and seating with the venue well in advance of it taking place so please be sure you can attend before buying your ticket. You can view our events policy for more information.

  • Doors are at 8:30. The program starts at 9AM. It lasts until 4PM. We’ll kick it off with morning networking and coffee as everyone settles into a table and explores their juicy swag bags. I’ll then introduce the day with a keynote about how to shine your inner light so you can step deeper into your power as the woman you were born to be. This will then lead into a day full of workshopping: round table discussions in groups, journaling and reflection, goal setting and vision casting exercises.

    Who doesn’t want to plan their dream life?

    Midday we’ll break for lunch so we can stretch, linger, network, snap photos, and shop the handful of AMAZING show partner booths all by local female-owned businesses (who will have incredible promotions just for GLOWcon guests by the way). After lunch, we’ll return to tables for a BIG ANNOUNCEMENT made by yours truly, followed by a guided meditation and intention-setting session to fully capture the essence of the day (this is the powerful stuff!). Finally, we’ll close it out with a bunch of giveaways, a group toast, and, of course….A DANCE PARTY because that’s just how I roll.

    This is a day of deep work meant to propel you forward as the amazing person you already are. It will inspire you to make all the positive changes that you dream of making in your life and give you the tools to do just that once you arrive back home. You’ll come with an open mind and leave with an open heart and a clear path forward. The woman that walks through those doors in the morning will not be the same woman that exits through those doors in the afternoon. It’s going to be incredibly transformative and so dang fun!

    You’ll benefit the most from this day by joining us for the duration of the event. Leaving the program halfway through will disrupt the entire group and take away from your experience. Emergencies happen, we get it but, PLEASE, consider your schedule and childcare coverage BEFORE purchasing your ticket. This is a full-day event that requires your full attention and participation if you really want to see an impact.

  • This event is structured a bit differently than your average conference. Guests will be taking inspired action throughout the day instead of sitting + watching speakers for 7 hours. We are however looking for partners in a bundle of other areas. If you’re interested in partnering with us for this event, click here to explore partnership opportunities.

  • There is a room on-site that we’ve set up as a private lactation space for guests who need to pump or nurse during our event.

    Babies are welcome in this private lactation space for breastfeeding purposes only. It is not a playroom.

    Babies and children are not permitted inside the show / main room as it will distract from the day’s program due to the deep nature of the work we’re doing.

    There is a separate entrance to the private lactation space, a bathroom, as well as a refrigerator / full kitchen on-site for your drop off/pick up, storage, and sanitation needs. You are in charge of bringing all of your own pumping supplies, including labels for the refrigerator (so there are no mixups with catering!).

    We recommend coordinating childcare coverage for the day so you can enjoy the full day’s immersion.

    If there’s anything else we can do to help make this space more comfortable for you, please contact us: hello@thesmalltownsocial.com.

  • Due to the deep nature of the work we’re doing at this event, children are not permitted inside the show as it will greatly distract from the day’s program.

    Babies are only welcome in our private lactation space for breastfeeding purposes only. It is not a playroom.

    We recommend coordinating childcare coverage for the day well in advance so you can enjoy the full-day immersion.

    This day is for YOU.

  • You’ll get the most out of this event if you can attend for the entire day (9AM-4PM). We highly recommend coordinating your childcare well in advance so you know you have coverage. Leaving the program halfway through will disturb the entire group and take away from your experience.

    We’ve partnered with Sandhills Nanny Co to offer GLOWcon ticketholders a discount on childcare bookings for the day of the event. That information will be sent to ticketholders soon!

  • YES! We are proud to donate a portion of the proceeds from this event to The Children’s Legacy Partnership, a non-profit organization supporting women worldwide. Additionally, we do our best to make sure our show is as eco-friendly as possible!

  • That’s awesome! You have until January 15 to submit an application. Click here for more info!

  • No problem! Email us at hello@thesmalltownsocial.com + we'll get back to you as soon as we can.

See you March 19!
