Milspo Project Live
We've hosted events since our humble beginnings in 2014. Our first business conference was held in the donated business center of a Fayetteville, North Carolina church! We have learned a thing or two, and have put all those ah-ha moments into one best-of business event, Milspo Project Live, delivering the resources you need to start, expand and take your current business to the next level! We're coming to a city near you in 2018 and 2019.
Milspo Project's events create epiphanies and ignite inspiration. It is an environment that reenergizes your entrepreneurial spirit, all while validating those crazy feelings in between, which is needed to feed the mind, body, and soul. As milspreneurs, we encounter a different set of obstacles and it is important as hell to have people in your corner. Milspo Project's events are the perfect place to develop those military spouse friendships and networks, which are necessary to thrive as a business owner.

Restore
The newest brain child of MP's Chief Experience Curator, Restore is a retreat-style experience created exclusively for military spouse entrepreneurs. Hosted annually, Restore is for military spouses looking to set and revisit their business goals, connect with a small group of military spouses on the same journey, unplug, and find rest and rejuvenation for three days. Tickets go on sale June 11th.
I just returned home from MilspoCon 2017 and it was completely inspiring! I've been struggling with building up my small business, wondering if it's actually something I can accomplish. MilspoCon taught me that the world needs my talents and there is space for me! Milspo is a phenomenal organization with great resources and leadership.
-Hannah Cabrera
I had a wonderful experience at Milspo's business event. The entire team is phenomenal and their hard work was obvious. There were so many moments of, dare I say, spiritual enlightenment. I came away with info to help me and my business grow . Thanks Milspo Project!

Honor Auction
Each May, we celebrate Military Spouse Appreciation Day with bluegrass music, craft beer, and a live auction. Proceeds benefit the many programs of Milspo Project. Honor Auction guests learn about military life, military spouses, the stories behind military spouse-made goods and services, and how our members are using Milspo Project resources to start and grow their businesses!
You will leave this conference ready to take on the world. The energy from the attendees and speakers is empowering and inspiring. This event highlights military spouse creativity and determination at our finest.

Gather
Our members also like to meet in person! Milspo Project Ambassadors will be hosting quarterly Gather meet ups beginning June 2018. We can't wait to see you at our next member community event, happening at a coffee shop or gathering place near you.
After trudging through the busy season of my industry, and experiencing some obstacles, Milspo Project's business conference was just the pick me up I needed for myself and my business! It was wonderful knowing what I was doing right, what I was doing wrong (or not doing at all!) and what I could improve on doing for my business. I didn't think I would learn so much from industries that are so different from me, but I did and I loved it! Not to mention all the networking contacts I received and overall positive spirit of all the milspreneurs who attended that was simply contagious!
