Treat yourself to a day of connection with yourself + others

Making friends as a grown woman can be…AWKWARD AWESOME

Liz Fleming and The Small Town Social® are here to make it easier with…

GLOWCON

A full-day gathering in Pinehurst, NC designed for women like you who are eager to expand your horizons and live more in alignment with who you really are so you can experience more joy, fulfillment, confidence and meaningful connection in your life.

This guided event helps women from all walks of life deepen the connections they have with themselves AND others. It’s a day dedicated to forming friendships that last and filling a room full of laughter and light so you can take your natural next step forward however YOU see fit. GLOWCON helps you feel like you belong and build a community that suits you, while helping you feel seen as the remarkable human you already are.

Eager to expand your horizons and achieve alignment in your life?

This is your chance to unleash your YOU and connect with fellow females who can become your best cheerleaders.

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 woman, mom, military spouse, [insert whatever other title]. I wanted to create a gathering that felt like a full-on self-care day where I could be surrounded by other kick@$$ women who want to shine their light.

But, above all, I want to help you…

Embrace that “ANYTHING IS POSSIBLE” energy!

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?

Get ready to G.L.O.W., girl.

A gathering for women to grow, learn, connect, and win together under one roof for one whole day.

This is a conference GATHERING

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

It’s a gathering for women who are eager to expand their horizons + live in alignment with who they really are so they can experience more joy, passion + purpose in life + build an amazing team of cheerleaders along the way.

GLOWCON helps all women feel seen as the remarkable human beings they already are, regardless of circumstance.

Elements like amazing food, music, learning, goodies, connections, activities make it fun. The unique experience you get from being guided on this journey + in this way is what makes it DIFFERENT.

Sooo, what’s with the name?

GLOWcon 2024 Guest
"Attending GLOWcon was truly eye-opening. The empowering workshops, insightful speakers, and supportive community helped me break through barriers and feel deeply connected. I also had the pleasure of connecting with many incredible small business owners at the event. The exclusive deals available only to attendees were exceptional and added immense value to the experience. GLOWcon provided a unique opportunity to network, collaborate, and support fellow entrepreneurs, enriching my overall experience and contributing to my growth journey. Thank you, Liz, for pouring so much into our community - you did an amazing job!"

Kristin - GLOWcon 2024 Guest
"When I saw the GLOWcon advertisement I signed up immediately but as the date drew close I was filled with apprehension and well, fear. I reached out to Liz basically seeking encouragement and boy did I get it! I’m so glad I pushed past that initial doubt. The day was full of connection, laughter and self discovery. I highly recommend any woman of any age to attend. When you open yourself up to possibilities, magic happens. Thank you, Liz, for working so tirelessly in making your dream a reality for all of us. It was amazing 👏🏼"

Kelly, 56, GLOWon 2024 Guest
"I thought I had it all together until I suddenly knew that I didn’t. BAMM! The world was revolving around me as always and suddenly I was just “stuck” - my life is wonderful and I have everything I could imagine - but something was missing….and I realized that the something missing was ME! GLOWcon exercises not only made me realize that I still have a beautiful life - I just had to find where I fit in it again - and the beautiful women at my table were magical in helping make this happen. We all just clicked! Liz, this event was nothing short of spectacular - you truly knocked it out of the park. Your sponsors were truly caring, kind, and REAL!"

Monica, 60, GLOWcon 2024 Guest
"I found that I am not alone. I felt I couldn't relate to others around me for a long time. This felt like a safe space and the questions to ask myself to help myself grow. I realized many things I had never analyzed, and this group gave me that space. It was safe and helped me see where I needed to go and how to respect my boundaries so that I am not burned out."
