As we all know, 2020 has been a nightmare of a year. And because of this you may need a retreat (or conference) to recharge and reengage in your personal and professional selves. If that’s the case, you’ve made it to the place that will tell you about the ones that will help you do that! Here are the top 5 retreats and conferences of 2021 that will turn the new year into an optimistic one:
Flourish Media Conference
Miami, FL Feb. 19th- Feb 21st 2021
For the past 4 years Flourish Media has brought women entrepreneurs and investors together for a weekend long retreat. This year will look a little different as there will only be a certain number of attendees that will be in person, but you will be able to experience the conference events through a live stream!
The weekend long retreat has a theme that is called “The Plan” that will help you create a plan to raise capital for your business and encourage you to use that plan to help you in your business marketing endeavors. There will be group strategy sessions with investors, speakers, seminars, and workshops throughout the weekend that will leave you feeling confident with your new marketing goals. With past speakers like Adrian Jefferson Chofor, Ariane Fronseca, and Dr. Nicole Garner Scott you’ll be sure to learn a few things from this upcoming year’s speakers!
You’ll also be able to connect with Flourish Media founders Vivian Olodun and Dr. Tracy Timberlake whose social media marketing guide has paved the way for successful online businesses like yours.
This retreat will be hosted at Miami’s The Carolline. You’ll be able to enjoy an oceanfront wellness resort, Mediterranean cuisine, and a spa when you book your stay on top of the Flourish Media Conference.

Hero Conference
Austin, TX June 2nd- June 3rd 2021
Are you tired of the typical conference and want a conference that gives you the same opportunity as everyone else to network with marketing pros? Then I highly suggest snagging a ticket for Hero Conference! Learn from PPC (pay-per-click) media professionals while being surrounded by the best food and swag “in the biz”. With 44 specific sessions, and being surrounded by 600+ likeminded professionals, you’ll be sure to leave this event learning so much to help you in your marketing needs.
The Hero Conference doesn’t like to hold their event in a normal convention center because they want their attendees to be able to soak up everything the city has to offer. This year the conference will be at Hilton Austin. At Hilton Austin, you can enjoy their modern 4-star rooms and their incredible accommodations that include a rooftop pool, a luxurious spa, and phenomenal dining. Be sure to enjoy the artistic city of Austin during the weekend, too!
