✦ GLOWcon ✦

The first-ever full-day all-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, self-care, and pursuing your passions. We anticipate over 100 women to attend this event!

Tuesday, March 19, 2024 at The Fair Barn

✦ Benefits of Partnering ✦

This event is specifically designed to attract and serve a very niche audience of local women across Moore County and surrounding areas. If you’re a local business owner then this event is the easiest way to get in front of new shoppers, attract more foot traffic, grow your customer-base and following. This event provides an incredibly rare and unique opportunity to speak directly with local ladies at scale and those who historically make 90% of the purchasing decisions for their family. This is not like your average virtual event that only touches a handful of random social media followers. This is a strategically facilitated event hosted by an already successful and fast-growing company that supports over 1,500 women (and counting!) throughout the area.

Ideal audience.

There are so many unique opportunities during an event of this nature. Guests come eager to learn and are inspired to deepen every connection they make. Even once the day is wrapped, event attendees become active, warm leads who want MORE, especially from the amazing local brands that made it so worth their time.

Warm leads.

I’ve done my job to attract your ideal local customer to this event + present you with warm leads. Instead of paying for ads that publish to a cold audience or an array of random followers, stay in front of a niche group of locals who are already interested. Being a sponsor makes it easy for you to convert those warm leads into customers ASAP without having to continually empty your pockets or hunt them down on your own or on the internet.

Easy for you.

During personal development events, guests are often ready to take action on-site. They’re no longer in the exploratory phase. They’ve invested in attending, they’re inspired and excited to take the next step. Events are known to excite attendees in a way that keeps them wanting more from those they know, like and trust, especially fellow locals.

Eager to buy.

✦ PARTNER FAQS ✦

  • One application per business please.

  • We are only interested in partnering with individuals and businesses that are female-owned/operated and primarily cater to women and women’s health/wellness/beauty as our event revolves around self-care and personal development for women. We give priority to Moore County businesses. If this sounds like you, apply!

  • Yes, these are PAID opportunities. Pricing is listed within each package on the GLOWcon Partners page.

  • No. 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.

  • Vendors have been contacted and selected separately (decor, production, food/bev, etc.). However, if you’re still interested in how to be a part of this day as a vendor, please email us (hello@thesmalltownsocial.com) and we’ll see if it’s a fit!

  • The application process for partners is open until January 15. Once it closes, we will be selecting our partners. You will be notified if you were selected AND if you weren’t selected.

  • If you applied to be a show partner, we advise you to wait to purchase a ticket until partner selections have been made and everyone is notified.

    All of our partner packages either come with complimentary and/or discounted show tickets.

    If you’re selected, we will send you an agreement to sign with an invoice to pay once applications close. Once paid, we’ll send you additional information regarding your tickets, along with all other promotional materials.

    If you’re NOT selected, you’ll receive an email - it will include a special ticket offer for you simply for taking the time to apply and go through this process with us. We made you wait so you shouldn’t have to pay full price, right? We don’t think so. We’ll send you that information via email once our final selections have been made.

    Keep a close eye on your inboxes!

  • Please email us with questions at hello@thesmalltownsocial.com. List out all of your questions in this email. At this point, we are no longer able to take in-person meetings if you’re still considering a partnership - time is too tight. However, we can set up a quick phone call. Thanks for understanding!
