Let’s talk about the meaning behind connected conversations.

What began as a women’s lecture series in 1991 has grown into one of the most powerful and entertaining live events in the nation. The core mission of SmartTalk stems from the idea that women are inspired by the actions and the heart and voice of other remarkable women. These thoughts, stories and pieces of advice shared face to face create invaluable connected conversations that truly renew, enrich and uplift the spirit.

Each year SmartTalk diligently selects the speaker line-up to create the perfect blend of inspiration — from Hollywood superstars to political powerhouses. But even beyond the stage, from the moment guests arrive at the theater, they are engaged and incited to connect through every detail of the program – before, during and after the show. Although single event tickets are sold, attending the series as a whole makes the real impact. Going to all five shows over five months is where you will connect with others, make new friends and may even discover the artist you knew so little about became your favorite! A series subscription guarantees you the best seats at the greatest savings. And now, you can purchase single tickets to the performance of your choice, subject to availability, making SmartTalk a great gift idea. SmartTalk gives mothers and daughters, colleagues and clients, friends and even couples the chance to participate in a life transforming experience.
