The Mid-Year Momentum: Masterclass & Summer Mixer

Friday, May 29, 2026 | 12:00 PM - 2:00 PM | San Carlos, CA

Closing the First Half: Architecture, Connection, and Momentum

Following the success of our December Winter Mixer, we are gathering one last time before the summer hiatus. This session is designed for the ambitious women of our community—whether you are currently leading a company, scaling a venture, or architecting your return to a high-impact career.

In a rapidly shifting economy, your most valuable asset isn't your current title—it’s your Professional Trajectory. This session is a dedicated space to reclaim your narrative and build the strategic scaffolding for what comes next.

For: Founders, Professionals, and Women in Transition

The Session Timeline

  • 12:00 PM – 1:30 PM | The Strategy Masterclass | Topic: [To Be Announced]

    • We will move beyond the "busy work" and focus on Career Architecture. This 90-minute session is designed to help you bridge the gap between where you are and where you are going, providing the PhD-level tools to navigate your next pivot with clarity and confidence.

  • 1:30 PM – 2:00 PM | The Summer Mixer

    • Intentional Networking. Reconnect with a powerful ecosystem of local women. This is 30 minutes of high-value exchange designed to spark the connections that lead to opportunities, partnerships, and re-entries.

Pre-Registrations Now Open!

This is our final session before we break for the summer months (June-August). We will resume our monthly rhythm in September. Because this is the last chance to tap into the Elevate ecosystem before the break, seats are expected to fill quickly. Your registration includes a curated lunch. Coffee and cookies are provided as my personal compliment to our gathering.

Why This Room is Different

Hosted by Twisha Anand, PhD, the Gather series is built for women who think deeply and lead with intention. We focus on Organizational Behavior and Human-Centered Strategy to ensure you aren't just "finding a job" or "running a business," but building a sustainable professional ecosystem.

Connecting for Collective Wisdom

In a world flooded with digital content and AI-driven learning, I created Elevate Gather to bring us back to the most human—and powerful—form of growth: learning from one another.

As a deeply involved community member, I meet incredibly bright, mission-driven people every day. These conversations often inspire new ideas, open doors, and offer guidance that doesn’t come from a screen. My goal is to share this discourse and guidance widely, because I believe democratizing knowledge is the most effective way to multiply it. I have received so much from the people around me, and establishing Gather is my way of giving back to our vibrant community.

In our monthly Gathers, entrepreneurs and professionals converge to learn from insightful speakers, engage in meaningful discussions, and build powerful connections. Whether you are a founder, leader, or someone simply curious to grow—there is a seat for you here.

From Past Attendees

What surprised me most was how much clarity I walked away with. Whether it was a new perspective from a speaker, a vulnerable share from someone in the group, or simply the space to pause and reflect, I always left feeling more connected to myself and to others.

As someone currently on a career break focused on personal and professional growth, I've found Gather with Twisha to be incredibly valuable. She consistently organizes excellent events that bring together women from diverse career stages. It's a fantastic, safe space to share ideas and connect with peers. I'm excited for future events to stay connected and discover new opportunities that align with my evolving interests!
