Thursday, April 23, 2026
Thank you to everyone that joined us Thursday April 24th, 2025, for the 35th annual Bakersfield Women’s Business Conference for a regal majestic experience. Our theme this year was Embody the Royal You! We hope you felt a profound impact on your life, inspiring the royal Queen in you.
We believe everyone has a noble and majestic purpose: to create, experience, and become the greatest version of your grandest vision. Your heartfelt creative endeavors drive innovation and add value to our lives. Passion fuels the desire to take a risk and create something outside of yourself. A love-fueled heart gives us the courage to act and share our creations and endeavors with the world. What you create and offer to the world matters—it’s an expression of your value and why YOU matter in this world. You are here to make a difference, we all are.
How we choose to share our purpose is how we choose to show up in the world. We hope you left feeling more connected to your purpose, believing that you matter, knowing your worth, and understanding that we need each other to create, experience, and become the greatest version of our grandest vision every day.
BWBC 2025 is presented by our Platinum Sponsor, Valley Strong Credit Union.
