On Aug. 11, 2025, Local Profile set the stage for its most empowering event of the year with a high-energy pre-party at the Hall Park Hotel in Frisco. The celebration marked the official countdown to the Women in Business Summit, an annual gathering that unites 500 of North Texas’ most dynamic and influential women for a full day dedicated to inspiration, empowerment and collaboration.
The pre-party buzzed with conversation as local leaders, entrepreneurs and community changemakers mingled over bubbles, bites and bold ideas.
Guests also enjoyed an exclusive preview of what’s in store for the Sept. 12 summit, including a spotlight on this year’s powerhouse panelists — eight trailblazing leaders whose stories and expertise span industries from finance and tech to beauty, nonprofits and beyond.
