Our 2018 WIM Festival was so much more than we could have ever asked for. We laughed, listened, cried, and danced the weekend away in unity and sisterhood. We're feeling beyond inspired by both the womxn who came out to share their gems, and all the ladies that attended each event and brought life to the festival. Above all, we're thankful to all our sponsors, who without their belief and support, could not have made the festival happen. Please get to know our 2018 sponsors below!

Both food and community are at the heart of Agave, which is why you’ll be able to find the restaurant located adjacent to the Kapor Center for Social Impact, the cultural hub for local leaders.

Bare Snacks

We live in an age where we’re constantly on the go and need fuel to get us through the day. Often we grab snacks because they’re quick and cheap, but rarely do we expect them to be healthy. And when we do go for the healthy route, we’re usually left craving more taste and variety. Bare Snacks is out to change the good-for-you snacking game, using only non-gmo certified ingredients and ripened, real fruit that taste just as good as they’ll make you feel.

Glossier

Glossier knows that real beauty ultimately comes from within and that makeup should never be seen as a “fix” but rather another way of enhancing what is already so good. That’s why they’ve created products that focus on priming your skin so that you can achieve a healthy, dewy glow for the day ahead. An added bonus-- all products are designed for easy application and come in packaging that’s too cute not to share.

We all know we should drink more water but sometimes there’s the desire to hydrate with a little more flavor.
