A message from Belinda
As the founder of The VA Connection® I know there is something magical that happens when we come together in person.
Women and men who have been attending our online sessions together, cheering and encouraging each other, and building friendships online finally get to meet face to face. And something shifts. The hugs, the laughter, the "I can't believe I'm actually meeting you" moments. I get goosebumps just thinking about it.
This October 2nd - 4th I'm hosting our third annual conference. I host them every year because I believe meeting in real life matters. You can watch videos, take courses, and follow along online, but nothing replaces being in the same room with people who understand the life you're building for yourself and your family.
I don't want you to miss the conversations, the breakthroughs, the "me too" moments over lunch, the speaker who says exactly what you needed to hear at exactly the right time. Those are the moments that make a difference.
This time I'm bringing our community together at the amazing Kingsmill Resort in Williamsburg, Virginia. We'll be together for three days of incredible speakers, real talk, good food, and the kind of connection that stays with you long after you head home.
We only have 30 spots and I mean it when I say they will go fast. I would love for you to be one of them.

Praise for The VA Connection® LIVE Conference...
Laurie McAleenan
I felt loved, supported, and encouraged all weekend.
Six months from now I'll remember the connections, the support, and to embrace my red dress moments in life.
I have a great group of people who are on this journey with me that I can connect with anytime.
My business would not have lasted and grown without Belinda and what she has built.
Sandy Goodell
Meeting people in person whom I've gotten to know virtually was absolutely the highlight. There's something special about turning familiar faces on a screen into real-life connections.
The VA Connection LIVE was a powerful reminder of what happens when passionate, purpose-driven professionals gather in person.
I left with fresh ideas, renewed energy, and a deeper appreciation of the community Belinda has built.
Jennifer Grant
The VA Connection® LIVE Conference was transformational for me.
I went in with a vague idea of the direction I want to take my business next year and I came out with a solid vision and the momentum to set the wheels in motion to get there! The speakers were relatable and inspiring.
Spending time with my virtual VA peers was so much fun, and meeting Belinda in person was the icing on the cake!
Jennifer Cohen
The VA Connection® LIVE Conference was transformative! Experiencing the open hearts of everyone involved while we learned together (and shared great food and fun!) was both humbling and amazing.
The sessions were varied and felt like they went deeper into familiar concepts we already had already been introduced to in VA School and Momentum Builders.
I believe this in-person event made us even stronger as community and will take us further than I'd even imagined possible.
Tammy Schaefer
The conference was so powerful because we were in the room with all of these like-minded people.
I learned so much and gained a renewed confidence I didn't have before.
It's worth double or triple the investment I made. Belinda did this, the same way she does everything with excellence and gave so much value for our investment. You don't want to miss it!
Michelle Rodges
I'll remember the overall feeling of being in the same room with everyone. The energy was incredible.
Everyone was so open and genuine; it was so nice to see people feel comfortable enough to share honestly.
I absolutely love the community Belinda has created and how much she pours into all of us. These conferences have been life-changing in so many ways.

What Jennie Says About The VA Connection LIVE...
Arriving at the LIVE event was exciting, and Belinda’s warm welcome set a fantastic tone. But the real magic happened as I started meeting my virtual colleagues face-to-face after only having screens and emails… handshakes, hugs, laughter, and a flurry of selfies filled the room! It was transformative and turned our digital connections into genuine friendships.
The sessions were packed with learning and insights from our phenomenal group of speakers. Even more enriching were the informal gatherings filled with promises to sustain our collaborative spirit and keep the momentum going.
I left the event not just with a bag of goodies, new ideas, and (digital) business cards, but with a heart full of joy, inspiration, and a profound sense of connection to our incredible community. Do yourself a favor: join the next LIVE event and prepare to be delighted, surprised, and wholly transformed by the experience. I’m already excited for next year!
