PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT

One of the major challenges that women encounter when advancing in their careers is finding the right connections in their network who can support their progress. EPIC provides workshops tailored for young professionals, entrepreneurs, creators, and influencers to offer valuable insights and help them achieve their goals.

This Is Going To Be EPIC!

As women of faith, it is important to recognize and nurture the unique purpose that God has created for each of us. The EPIC Women’s Conference is more than just an event; it’s an experience designed to propel you towards your purpose and passion through prayer, sisterhood, and strategy! This two-day event will take place at the Rochester Riverside Convention Center. The conference will feature keynote speakers, workshops, and a vendor exhibit. We are thrilled to offer workshops in Spanish. Attendees who speak Spanish will be provided with headsets for the keynote sessions, and we will have workshops that are conducted entirely in Spanish. As this conference continues to evolve by God's grace, we hope that more and more women will have access to this life-changing event. We will laugh until our stomachs hurt, shed a few tears, and leave behind burdens that are unnecessary for our next season. It will be a pivotal time for all who attend.

EPIC 2025 will be held in Rochester, New York, on August 1st and 2nd. You can learn more about the conference here.

How We Do What We Do…

The conference targets women who want to grow spiritually, mentally, and professionally. Our workshops are designed for women at various stages of transition in their lives. We aim to promote intentionality while equipping women with concrete strategies to reach their next level. If you feel stuck or desire inspiration, the EPIC Women’s Conference is for you!

All workshops have an element of Christian faith that serves as the foundation of the strategies shared by our presenters. Workshops fall into three categories: Spirituality, Professional Development, and Lifestyle. Some workshops will cover multiple categories. Additionally, we offer workshops for Spanish-only speakers. Workshops focus on Esteem, Passion, Inspiration, and Courage, helping attendees become EPIC Women. This WHOLE LIFE conference focuses on the WHOLE WOMAN and every aspect of her life. Her relationship with Christ, her friends and family, and herself.

Let me first say I was not supposed to be in the room! BUT GOD has a way of placing you right where you need to be. From the workshops to the many cultivated connections, I am GRATEFUL!

Once the conference started, we entered into a room of praise & worship! When I tell you, the worship leader did just that!!! I haven't experienced this feeling in a very, very long time!

Conference Host & Visionary

Dr. LaShunda Leslie-Smith

From a

Mother at age 14 to a CEO
by age 34…

LaShunda is no stranger to adversity and hard work. When she was a little girl, she dreamed of becoming a pediatrician or entrepreneur. Instead, when LaShunda was little more than a baby herself, she gave birth to her first child, a son. At that point, LaShunda could have become nothing more than a statistic. However, LaShunda is a dreamer and a doer. She became the first in her family to graduate college and earn a master’s degree and a doctorate. She accomplished all this while raising her son — and later her daughter — with her husband of now 25 years. LaShunda has formally and informally mentored, counseled, and advised hundreds of women throughout her career, personal life, and ministry. She felt a strong prompting from the Lord to take what she has learned, through trial and error, and package it into what is now the EPIC Women’s Conference. The first conference was launched in September 2018. To her surprise, it was a sold-out event, women’s lives were changed, and God was glorified. The success of the EPIC Women’s Conference was followed by the creation of Women, Worship, & the Word, a worship experience that allowed women to grow in their knowledge of Christ and take the next step to live out their purpose. LaShunda is a highly sought-after motivational speaker and workshop presenter. LaShunda has been nominated and selected as the recipient of numerous awards and accolades. She is a TEDx Speaker, author, and social entrepreneur.
