On November 11 in New York City, it was literally freezing outside. But inside Industria Studios in Manhattan’s West Village, the second-ever Rally brought some serious heat.
More than 600 attendees and 30 speakers gathered for the all-day event dissecting what success means, why failure can be a gift, and all the nuanced and complex ideas and experiences that fall in between the two.

The night before the Rally, festivities kicked off with the Founders’ Dinner, co-hosted by Sophia Amoruso and Whitney Wolfe Herd, CEO and founder of Bumble, at the Cadillac House in Soho.
Attendees kicked off the morning with some breakfast vibes from Daily Harvest, juice from Joe and the Juice, and much-needed caffeine from Equator Coffee. Plus, snacks and refreshments from RxBars, PopChips, Health-Ade and GAB. were on hand all day to keep our hustlers fueled and energized.
And of course, our own Sophia Amoruso kicked off the programming with her usual candor and humor, touching on the why it’s more important than ever for women to come together: “It’s a time where women are speaking up and talking about the insane shit we’ve had to put up with pretty much since the dawn of time, ” she said. “We can’t choose what happens but we can choose what we do with it.”

One of the most powerful conversations of the day was the fireside chat with supermodel and body-positivity activist Ashley Graham, who of course brought her trademark realness: “I never lost weight bcause I’m that girl who, if you tell me to lose weight, I’m going to go and eat a Snickers and it goes right to my hips. You can’t suck in your hips.”
Attendees took a midday refuel break with lunch from Dig Inn, which dished up delicious, hearty bowls of sustainable, healthy ingredients—perfect for hustlers on the go who want to stay connected to what they’re putting in their bodies. Also, their pun game was extremely strong.
At the Rally, we debuted Startup Studio in partnership with our friends at Google Chromebook. Attendees signed up for workshops on brand building, navigating the wild world of venture capital, communication within your company, flexibility in the workplace, and personal finance. Spots filled up within hours of being released, but don’t worry—you can get access to all of the talks with a digital ticket!

As was the case with the inaugural Rally in LA back in March, the Boss Shots headshot station brought to life by our buds at Bumble Bizz was one of the most popular activations at the Rally. Attendees had the chance to get hair and makeup touchups from Glamsquad before striking a pose in front of a professional photographer for use on Bumble Bizz, the official networking platform of the Rally—and beyond.
In keeping with our ongoing #whatifwednesday series with Pinterest, attendees were able to take and scan printed Pins of new things they wanted to try off of the Try Wall. They were also given pledge cards to fill out and mail back to themselves as a reminder to keep their commitment to themselves and try their next big what if.
One of the big surprises at the Rally was the announcement of the newest winners of the Foundation grant, which went to Sandy Hong and Melissa Wong, founders of New Women Space.

Founder Leandra Medine, and Bumble founder and CEO Whitney Wolfe Herd. “We have cultivated the community that we want to follow us and we aren’t distracted by the naysayers, ” Welteroth told the audience. “If you’re trying to please everyone, you’re not going to get anywhere.”
The last panel of the evening was a fireside chat from best-selling author and world-renowned psychologist Esther Perel, who dropped some serious knowledge bombs: “The pressure comes from the expectation that we can achieve everything. We can achieve a lot, but we can not always do it all at the same time.”
Better believe we didn’t mess around with these gift bags, either. Attendees walked away with goodies from Vrai and Oro, Piper Wai, Jet.com, Dagne Dover, Outdoor Voices, Jules Smith, Splendid Spoon, Leaf TV, Lady Getz, MAKE, Erno Laszlo, Uma Oils, Verb, Herbivore, Eco Tools, Philosophy, Laura Geller, Garnier, Chillhouse, Iconery, ADAY, Onomie, Knock Knock, HUM, Hatch, VI, Mugler, Stash Wealth, Self Made, Glamsquad, Mignonne Gavigan and ARDELL. Major score.
Girlboss Rally Nyc — Stevie Meder
And that’s a wrap. Rest up for a minute, and then let’s do it all again in a few months. See you at the next Rally!So I’m a dude and I was at the New York #GirlBossRally… Confused? Me too frankly. When my mom couldn’t make the trip to New York for Nasty Gal Founder Sophia Amoruso’s conference, I ended up going in her place. As a business student and the child of two badass entrepreneurs and business owners, I have an obsession with these kind of business events. While I was excited to go, I honestly wasn’t sure I could even get in since it is a GIRLboss conference.
When Trisha, Couleur Nature and Caravan Marketing Director, called customer service they said “there will be some guys at the event.” Let me tell you that the only guys at this thing were the tech team and the photographers. Even though I kept getting those shocked “why are you here?” looks, I actually ended up having an amazing time learning about market trends, entrepreneurship, and life skills from some of the female trailblazers in business.
One of the first talks of day one was from Sallie Krawvcheck, one of Fast Companies “100 Most Creative People” and founder of investment platform Ellevest. The talk covered investment and how it is NEVER too early to start planning for the future. So often we look at the short term and are not focused on our 60, 70, or even 80 year old self. Krawvcheck says that we should all use this philosophy as it relates to money: 50% allocated toward need, 30% towards fun, and 20% towards “future you.”

Refinery29 has changed the media landscape in so many ways. With honest, raw, and creative stories that follow real world people. Co-Founder and Executive Creative Director Piera Gelardi took time to talk about finding and expanding our creative power.
So many people in the room where successful entrepreneurs, side hustlers, or people who had dreams of starting their own business (like myself). Even the people who worked for large corporations could take away valuable tips from the weekends speakers.
Sophia Amoruso, Nasty Gal and Girlboss founder, moderated a panel with Museum of Ice Cream CEO Maryellis Bunn, Senior Director of Creative Collaborations and Influencer Marketing at Target Noria Morales, and Global Head of Brand Relevance at Uber Erika Decker Wykes-Sneyd. This is what they had to say…
Girlboss Rally 2017 — Ann D'ovidio
Huffington Post and Thrive Global Founder Arianna Huffington, one of my favorite speakers, took the time to talk to Sophia Amoruso about the importance of self-care, unplugging and recharging, and her personal experiences with stress. Here were some of the great words she had to share to with the group.
So often we think we must be in competition with others in order to get ahead. The reality is that cooperative relationships often lead to the best returns. Writer Marjon Carlos, Teach and Transform Founder Liz Kleinrock, and designer Madeline Poole said this…
There were hundreds of incredible speakers throughout the two days. While the mixed gender bathroom experience was a bit awkward in the beginning, I had such an incredible time at the #GirlbossRally and learned so much about business and life. Thanks Sophia and the entire Girlboss team for putting on such a great event.We did it! After months of planning our second Rally NYC 2018—not to mention our first weekend-long program—we can rest easy knowing this conference was unlike
