Elevate Pairs Women’s Leadership Keynote With Guided Discussion

Women business owners and leaders in Ventura County will have a structured setting to discuss leadership and professional growth on October 15, 2026. Elevate’s Inspiring Women in Business event will pair a keynote by Lindsey Carnett with guided conversations among attendees.

The planned gathering is part of Elevate’s launch in Ventura County. Its format places discussion alongside the speaker presentation, with time reserved for table topics and informal connections. Organizers describe the evening as an opportunity for substantive conversations beyond traditional networking.

Carnett, Marketing Maven’s CEO and president, is scheduled to speak at Tierra Rejada Golf Course in Moorpark, California. According to Elevate’s event announcement, her keynote will draw on her experience as an entrepreneur and business leader.

Leadership and Mentorship Shape the Program

Carnett plans to address limiting beliefs that can hold women back, navigating leadership, and the role of mentors and coaches. Those subjects frame the evening around personal and professional development. The announcement presents them as discussion topics, rather than promised outcomes for participants.

“Women in business benefit from having people in their corner who challenge them to think bigger and recognize what they are capable of,” Carnett said. She also said she looked forward to sharing lessons from her own journey with women across Ventura County.

Elevate founder and lead strategist Sandra Jennings said the event was created to bring together women leading and growing throughout the county. She pointed to Carnett’s entrepreneurial and business experience as the perspective attendees would hear during the company’s local launch.

The Schedule Leaves Time for Discussion

The event begins at 4:30 p.m., followed by Carnett’s keynote at 5 p.m. Guided table-topic conversations are scheduled for 5:45 p.m. Attendees will then have an opportunity to mingle and connect at 6:30 p.m., before the evening concludes at 7 p.m.

Tickets cost $49 per person. The venue is Tierra Rejada Golf Course, at 15187 Tierra Rejada Road in Moorpark. The announced date is Thursday, October 15, 2026.

Carnett founded Marketing Maven in 2009. The integrated marketing and public relations agency is headquartered in the Greater Los Angeles area and has offices in New York City. Her work outside the agency includes board and advisory positions with nonprofit and privately held organizations.

Elevate describes its services as connecting women executives, founders, and small business owners. Its offerings include a private community, executive coaching, organizational consulting, and the Lead from Within program. For this launch event, the practical point of connection will be the guided conversations immediately following Carnett’s keynote.
