There is something truly special about a room filled with women who are ready to learn, grow, encourage one another, and discover what's possible.


On October 21, 2026, more than 350 women will gather at the DoubleTree by Hilton Hotel in Portland for the Maine Women's Conference, a one-day experience designed to inspire personal and professional growth through meaningful conversations, expert speakers, interactive breakout sessions, networking, and collaboration.


The conference is built around this year's powerful theme:

Power. Purpose. Possibility.

More than a theme, it's an invitation.


POWER

Every woman carries an inner strength.

Sometimes it's easy to recognize.

Sometimes it's hidden beneath responsibilities, expectations, or life's challenges.

The Maine Women's Conference is a place to reconnect with that power—not power over others, but the quiet confidence that comes from resilience, self-trust, and remembering who you are.


PURPOSE

Purpose isn't something we discover once and keep forever.

It grows.

It changes.

It evolves through every season of life.

Whether you're beginning a new chapter, reinventing your career, building a business, raising a family, or wondering what's next, this conference celebrates purpose in all its forms.


POSSIBILITY

There's something extraordinary that happens when women gather.

Ideas grow.

Confidence grows.

Friendships begin.

New opportunities appear.

When we hear someone else's story, we often discover new possibilities for our own.

This conference is designed to expand what feels possible—personally, professionally, and within our communities.


Learn. Grow. Connect.

Attendees will spend the day exploring topics including:

✨ Personal Development

💼 Career & Professional Development

🌿 Health & Wellness

❤️ Family & Caregiving

🤝 Community Building

🌎 Social Impact

This year's keynote speakers include Sarah Hassaine, a global speaker and expert in AI, business transformation, and people strategy, along with Kikkan Randall, five-time Olympian, Olympic gold medalist, world champion, cancer survivor, and passionate advocate for resilience and living with purpose.


Breakout sessions cover timely and practical topics including:

  • Public Speaking in an AI-Centered World

  • Luminous Leadership

  • The Power of the Pause

  • Purpose over Pressure

  • Own the Room

  • Sleep as Your Superpower

  • Make Room for Whimsy

  • What's Your Story Costing You?

  • Dare You to Move

  • And much more.

As one 2025 attendee shared:

"It's always amazing to spend a day surrounded by the energy of women looking to grow and support each other."

A Special Gift for Every Attendee

Every attendee will also receive a complimentary copy of The Peace Guidebook: How to Cultivate Hope, Healing, and Harmony for the Good of Humankind, the award-winning bestselling book by Elizabeth Hamilton-Guarino and Dr. Katie Eastman.

Built around practical tools for navigating everyday life with greater calm, compassion, resilience, and intention,


The Peace Guidebook invites readers to discover that peace isn't something we wait for—it's something we practice. Through stories, reflections, and actionable exercises, the book encourages readers to navigate change, strengthen relationships, lead with empathy, and create more peaceful lives at home, at work, and within their communities.


It's a fitting companion to this year's conference theme, offering attendees a resource they can return to long after the day is over.
