Get ready, Fargo Moorhead West Fargo! One of the most anticipated leadership events of the year is returning this fall, and this time, we’re going even bolder. On September 30, hundreds will gather for the annual Women Connect Celebration, an afternoon designed to empower, elevate and inspire women at every stage of their careers.

Presented by premier sponsor Essentia Health, this year’s experience brings us powerhouse speaker Evy Poumpouras, former U.S. Secret Service special agent, bestselling author, media contributor and expert in human behavior.

This isn’t just a talk. It will be an unforgettable experience. With more than a decade of elite service protecting presidents and conducting high-stakes interrogations, Evy Poumpouras has mastered the art of influence, communication and personal power.

At Women Connect 2025, she’ll bring that hard-earned wisdom to the stage with her signature keynote, “Reading Other People and How Others Read You.”

Attendees will walk away with:

• Real-world tools to decode body language and verbal cues.
• Communication strategies that command respect and connect with impact.
• A renewed sense of power, presence and possibility.

Evy’s insights aren’t just inspirational—they’re transformational. Her techniques are taught at universities, embraced by global brands and featured regularly on networks like NBC, MSNBC and “Good Morning America.”

Whether you're a rising professional, a seasoned leader, a student or someone navigating a career change, this event will challenge and energize you.
