THE EXPERIENCE

For 16 years, The Pink Event has brought together women who are building, evolving, and showing up with purpose.

This year, we celebrate not just where we’ve been…

but the legacy we are actively creating.

The Sweet 16 Legacy Edition is designed to feel:

✨ Elevated

✨ Intentional

✨ Connected

✨ Expansive

You won’t just attend.

You will experience alignment, visibility, and powerful energy in the room.

THIS EXPERIENCE IS FOR

This experience is for the woman who is:

  • Building something meaningful

  • Ready to be in rooms that reflect her next level

  • Looking for genuine connection, not surface networking

  • Expanding her visibility, brand, or business

  • Craving an environment that feels both inspiring and aligned

Whether you are growing, pivoting, or stepping into your next chapter…

there is space here for you.

Ways to Be Part of the Experience

Team Experience

The Pink Event Team Experience is for individuals who want to be part of bringing the event to life from the inside.

We’re building a small, intentional team that values collaboration, creativity, and community. This is a pre-event and event-day support experience designed for those who want to contribute, connect, and be part of something meaningful.

Spots are limited and filled through application.

Closes April 30

Partner With Us

This year, we’re not just inviting attendees—
we’re inviting aligned brands and businesses to be part of the experience.

If you’re looking for more than visibility—
and value connection, alignment, and meaningful engagement—
there is space for you here.

Partnership opportunities are intentionally limited to maintain the integrity of the experience.

OUR LEGACY

The Pink Event is more than a moment.

It’s a movement rooted in community, collaboration, and growth.

For over 16 years,

The Pink Event has created space for women to be seen, supported, and elevated.

This Sweet 16 celebration honors that legacy, while making space for what’s next.

COMMUNITY PARTNER

Our Impact: 2026 Charity Partner

Sixteen years later… and the mission continues to grow.

As we celebrate The Pink Event: Sweet 16 Legacy Edition, we are proud to once again partner with For 3 Sisters, a meaningful part of this experience since 2014.

Because this has always been about more than business—it’s about community, connection, and creating real impact in the lives of women.

  • Your presence does more

  • Your support reaches further

  • Your participation gives back

When you show up to The Pink Event,
you’re not just attending a celebration…

You’re becoming part of a legacy that uplifts, supports, and empowers.

Join us in celebrating—and giving back.

This year’s experience will be intentionally curated.

This means:

  • Limited partnerships and exhibitor spaces

  • Limited attendee capacity

  • A focus on alignment and experience over volume

We are creating a space that feels as good as it looks.

The Pink Event Honors

Each year we celebrate women whose vision, creativity, and leadership uplift others and strengthen our community.

Nominations for the 2026 Sweet 16 Honors will open later this Spring.

Stay connected to be among the first to know when nominations begin.

If you’ve been considering attending, this is your reminder:

  • You don’t need to have everything figured out.

  • You don’t need to know exactly who you’ll meet.

You simply need to be open to what the experience has to offer.

The Pink Event has always been about more than what’s planned…

it’s about what unfolds when the right women are in the right space together.

And this year, that space is being intentionally curated.

WHY WOMEN KEEP COMING BACK

Because it’s not just an event.

It’s:

  • The connection that turns into collaboration

  • The conversation that sparks a new idea

  • The visibility that opens unexpected doors

  • The feeling of being in the right space at the right time

This is the part you can’t always put into words…

but you feel it when you’re there.

This is your invitation to be in the room.

Spots are limited and will fill.

Where Empowerment Meets Celebration

Founded by Tamika Josephs-Smith, The Pink Event began as a vision to celebrate women who build, create, and inspire. What began as a small gathering has evolved into a signature experience uniting community, creativity, and empowerment—all in support of meaningful causes.

Celebrating women. Connecting community. Empowering impact.
