A proper day out for you and your business, all while raising money for charity.
This isn't your average networking event
No lanyards. No sales pitches dressed up as talks. Just 100 women building something that matters, all in one room.
The right room changes everything.
You'll leave with ideas to act on and people to call.
Meet your host
Alex Brown
This one is personal. HerHustle Live is in memory of Amie Gray, raising money for The Ben Kinsella Trust and their fight against knife crime. The day itself? Awesome business people and their ideas in one room. Every speaker on that stage is a business bestie I've worked with. Whatever stage your business is at, they will deliver.
Ready to finish 2026 strong? This is your room.

A day with purpose
Why we're doing this
We can't seem to go a day without knife crime being in the news. In May 2024, Amie Gray lost her life on the beach here in Bournemouth in an attack that should never have happened. This event is held in her memory, and in the hope that we can stop just one more family going through what Amie's family went through. Find out more about The Ben Kinsella Trust →
We are raising money for The Ben Kinsella Trust, an award-winning charity that fights knife crime through education and campaigning. Their programmes reach young people across the country, helping them make positive choices and stay safe.
If we can make a difference to even one young person's life, that's exactly what this is for.

Speakers
Four speakers, all giving their time for free.
Ben Leeder
Coach · @benleeder_
“Who Wrote the Rules?”
We all run on a set of rules we never chose. Ben challenges you to question where yours came from, and to build a business on your own terms instead of following someone else's script.
Sophie Roe
Trauma Recovery Coach · @traumarecoverywithsophie
“What Survival Mode Is Costing Your Business”
Anxiety, burnout and hidden survival patterns quietly shape how you run your business. Sophie shows you how to spot the patterns keeping you stuck and build the capacity to lead with intention, not adrenaline.
Sophie Foote
Business Growth Coach · @sophie_coachbythebeach
“One Thing, One Person”
Two businesses built and sold, a seven-figure deal just done, and a reputation for scaling by selling one thing to one person. Sophie shares how knowing your industry, offer and audience inside out makes business very simple.
Alex Brown
Founder, HerHustle Live · @alex_brownherhustle
“What Changes When You Decide?”
You don't need another notebook full of ideas. You need to be seen, back yourself and make the decision that moves your business forward. Alex shows you how to share more of the person behind your business, reflect on how far you've already come, and challenges you to make one decision that could change where you're standing 10 months from now.
