The Satellite Women’s Conference (SWC) began in 2018 with almost 60 women representing 40 companies, who took a leap of faith to participate in an industry first women’s only event. In just three years SWC grew by 35% with continued enthusiasm and inspiring support. In 2021, Satellite was honored to host over 80 women from over 50 companies, representing a mix of 60% first time and 40% returning attendees. To fuel this momentum SWC has moved around the country to make it more accessible, going from Minneapolis, MN in 2018 to Scottsdale, AZ in 2019, with a digital event in 2020, followed by an engaging in-person event in 2021 in Nashville, TN. But we didn't stop there, in 2022 we celebrated year 5 in sunny San Diego, year 6 in Austin, Texas, year 7 in Leesburg, Virginia, and year 8 in Denver, Colorado serving over 140 women. Now in our 9th year, we hope to serve 200 amazing women from an even broader audience.
SWC has evolved into a connected community of strong businesswomen not only within the portable sanitation industry but also beyond our borders, ranging from small and medium sized business to larger, corporate organizations. Decision makers, owners, managers, field technicians and office staff; with seasoned experience, a few years under their belt, or those who just received their business license and are eager to get started!
SWC is an educational event focused on professional development, personal growth, networking, and community. Together we are celebrating eight amazing years of building friendships, developing professional relationships, and sharing ideas and skills necessary for running an efficient, relevant, and profitable business while having fun in the process! And we’re not stopping now!
“In the past eight years at SWC, I’ve met the most amazing women in the industry who have shared their joys and laughter, their struggles and fears, their stories and passions both in a room full of women and to me personally. Every year I am inspired by this community of strong, smart women who I look forward to meeting for the first time or seeing again. I truly care about and appreciate everyone who I’ve been fortunate to meet and get to know on this journey. And I am humbled by the overwhelming support of our sponsors; their contributions help to keep this event affordable and sustainable.”
– Michelle Amelse, SWC Co-Founder | Vice President, Marketing and Customer Success
When: Sunday October 4th - Tuesday October 6th 2026 Where: The Ballantyne Hotel, Charlotte, North Carolina
I’m assuming you’ll see this email in the morning but for me it’s 6:30pm on a Tuesday night. I just got a text from a woman I met at the conference who saw my post on Facebook selling a restroom trailer. My email is not about her or selling the trailer, my email is about what goes through my brain when I get a text on my cell from someone I met at the conference. I know there are a lot of trade shows that men and women go to, but the women’s conference is unique. And by unique I mean that women have a completely different thought process, and a different way of connecting to people in general than men, but especially to other women. The women’s conference I feel has brought all of us closer and let us feel non-vulnerable in a man dominated industry. I feel like without the conference and her recognizing my name she would not have texted me about the trailer. I’m not sure who’s brainchild the women’s conference was, but I would like to shake their hand.
Attending the Women's Satellite Conference for the past two years has been an incredibly enriching experience. Initially, I was hesitant due to my busy schedule and the need to ensure that any commitment of my time held significant value. However, from the moment I first attended, I was hooked. The conference was impeccably organized, and we were treated with the utmost professionalism and respect, making us feel like royalty.
The quality of the speakers was exceptional, offering top-notch insights and inspiring talks. Moreover, the conference provided a safe and empowering space for women in the male-dominated portable sanitation industry. The value of this experience is truly priceless, and I eagerly look forward to it every year.
From the moment you reach the registration desk at the Satellite Women's Conference, you know you've stepped into an experience. Every detail of the event is thoughtfully planned with special touches to make each element of the conference memorable. Speaker sessions are interactive, breakout session topics are diverse, and evening activities always lead to laughter with new friends. Most importantly, the Satellite Women's Conference creates a space dedicated for women in the industry to recognize the value of their unique perspective and skills and empower them to lead with those proudly everywhere they go after.
I love bringing women from all facets of our team. The timing, structure, and diverse SWC attendees from all over the world makes for a wonderful networking, learning, and FUN event!
