Grammy-winning Doechii to Headline Women’s Business Festival

The landscape of events dedicated to women in business is about to be transformed with an exciting announcement by Create & Cultivate, the leading media and events company championing women professionals. On April 15, 2025, it was revealed that Grammy-winning rapper and songwriter Doechii will headline the inaugural Create & Cultivate Festival. This groundbreaking festival, set to occur in Downtown Los Angeles on July 19-20, 2025, promises to be the biggest event specifically tailored for women in business, attracting over 2,000 attendees and featuring a lineup of over 100 prominent speakers.

The festival aims to bring together women from various stages of their careers—whether they are C-suite executives or aspiring entrepreneurs. It will fuse inspiring keynote speeches, engaging networking opportunities, and hands-on experiences designed to equip women with the tools necessary for professional growth across industries.

Among the esteemed speakers joining Doechii are notable figures like Ciara, a Grammy Award-winning singer-songwriter; Paige DeSorbo, an author and TV personality; Jordan Chiles, a two-time Olympic gold medalist; Lindsay Brewer, a professional racing driver; Jeannie Mai, an Emmy-winning host and actress; and Amanda Kloots, founder of Proper. This diverse range of speakers reflects the festival's commitment to celebrating women's achievements across different fields, including entertainment, fitness, business, and wellness.

In a strategic partnership with Chase Ink, Create & Cultivate aims to foster innovation and collaboration within the female entrepreneurial community. This marks the festival's first year collaborating with Chase, promising an array of over 100 sessions geared towards delivering valuable insights and actionable advice.

The Create & Cultivate Festival promises not only high-impact networking sessions but also features like start-up pitch competitions, industry-specific panels, and experiential pop-up market spaces showcasing women-led consumer brands. The innovative CONNECT platform, powered by AI, will facilitate one-on-one meetings among attendees, ensuring they maximize their networking potential. Participants can arrange personalized meetings that align with their professional goals, be it seeking mentorship or attracting investors.

“By pioneering this unique event, we aim to meet the evolving needs of today’s businesswomen,” explains Marina Middleton, CEO and Partner at Create & Cultivate. “Unlike traditional women-focused events that often emphasize empowerment in isolation or exist as side activities within larger conferences, our festival breaks down industry barriers, creating a community of driven women united across diverse sectors.”

Jaclyn Johnson, Founder and Partner, expresses excitement about the festival's potential, noting, “The Create & Cultivate Festival is designed not just as a networking opportunity, but as a productive experience for all attendees. Our ambition is for it to become an essential event for women aiming to elevate their careers and forge meaningful business relationships.”

As the festival gears up to welcome attendees at an unprecedented scale, Create & Cultivate invites ambitious women eager to connect, learn, and grow to join this dynamic festival experience that promises to reshape their professional journeys.
