If you're determined to make 2019 the year you finally take charge of your career or turn a business idea into a reality, there are mentors, resources, and inspiring speakers to help you make it happen. No matter what kind of professional venture you're pursuing, there's an event that can help support, connect, and motivate you. Ahead are the top female-focused conferences featuring fireside chats with industry leaders, networking opportunities, and all the tools you need to succeed.

 Create & Cultivate: Founded by Jaclyn Johnson in 2012, C&C has made a name for itself by producing some seriously kickass conferences. Past speaker lineups have included Rebecca Minkoff, Meghan Markle, and Allure EIC Michelle Lee, each pouring out their hearts about female entrepreneurship and the quest for success. But we're also in love with them because of their pop-up shops, photo booths, and top-notch snacks. This year, you can attend a pop-up event in Austin in March or an NYC Conference in May.

 Girlboss Rally: If you're a lady with a plan, a dream, a fierce entrepreneurial spirit, or all of the above, this gathering is for you. Launched in 2017 by author and Nasty Gal founder Sophia Amoruso, Girlboss Rally is known for featuring powerhouse speakers like Gwyneth Paltrow, Emily Weiss, and Ashley Graham. Each rally is insanely 'grammable and interactive with activities like professional headshots, intimate business workshops, and even on-site manicures and massages. (Photo via Getty)

 LOLA Retreat: LOLA is all about the Benjamins, baby. This conference is centered on helping women tackle their finances, but (gasp!) talking about them in a real way. Whether you're a money pro or always looking at your bank account balance through half-closed eyes, this event will give you the tools you need to get straight about the almighty dollar.
