FRIDAY, OCTOBER 23rd, 2026
9:00 am – 4:00 pm
Raleigh, NC
Your Business Has a Mandate. It’s Time to Rise.
There is a unique power that happens when Kingdom-minded women gather with a common purpose. We aren't just building companies; we are stewarding visions that change lives.
At The Alliance, we believe it is time to disrupt the status quo. While 90% of women-owned businesses stay under the $100k mark, we are on a mission to build the 1.7%—the visionaries who scale to $1M and beyond without sacrificing their soul or their sanity.
Uplevel and Rise is more than just a conference; it is a sacred space for the ambitious, faith-driven woman to step out of the "busy-ness" of business and into their highest calling. Join us in Raleigh for a day of strategic breakthroughs, deep sisterhood, and the tactical tools you need to build a business without limits. Your next level isn't just a goal—it’s your inheritance.
This experience is your invitation to recalibrate. If you’ve been feeling the call to "more" but find yourself under the weight of your daily operations, this is your turning point.
Take one day away from the grind to Connect, Learn, Strategize, and Elevate. Your business is ready to grow— we get you ready to lead it there.
Come receive the prophetic insight, strategic leadership, and community support required to manifest a high-impact business that honors your faith and your future.
