The HAYVN Greenwich POWERUp Series, hosted by Penny Goffman, is a dynamic monthly experience designed to bring ambitious, trailblazing women together in an inspiring and inviting setting. POWERUp gathers a curated guest list of women who are ready to connect on a deeper level. At the heart of each event is the POWERChat, an intimate, thought-provoking conversation featuring a high profile speaker. Think bold perspectives, unfiltered stories, and meaningful dialogue that resonates long after the event.
Beyond the conversation, the POWERUp Series is rooted in building community. The magic happens in the in-between moments when conversations spark and ideas collide. It’s the cultivation of long-term connections that spark collaboration, partnership, and lasting impact.
Every edition is uniquely themed, offering a fresh perspective and focus while maintaining a consistent throughline: women’s empowerment. Guests can also expect thoughtfully curated activations, shoppable pop-ups, and incredible female-led partners who bring added dimension and discovery to the experience. The HAYVN Greenwich POWERUp Series is where inspiration meets intention, where meaningful connections come together to celebrate women in business and beyond.
