The Rise Up Summit

Join us for the Hey Girlie! 3rd Annual Rise Up Summit, an empowering experience created for girls ages 9–18 to rise, connect, and thrive. This year’s theme, “Unfiltered: Just as I am,” invites attendees to explore the parts of themselves often shaped or hidden by pressure, expectations, and performance. Through interactive pods led by phenomenal women, girls will dive into topics like inner dialogue, body safety, self-image, and healthy expression while moving their bodies, sharing their feelings, building friendships, and connecting with adult mentors.

The day will also feature a pitch competition for girl entrepreneurs with cash prizes, along with lunch, swag bags, mentoring, and more. The summit will take place on Saturday, October 10, 2026, from 11:00 AM–4:00 PM at BrickNKulture, 65 N. Broad St., Woodbury, NJ 08096. Tickets are $40 per attendee.
