We begin with registration in our famous Odyssey Lounge which offers the opportunity to network, sample products, meet our sponsors and purchase gifts from unique Odyssey vendors. The afternoon continues with health screenings and roll-up-your-sleeves technology updates.
We kick off our business retreat with a fabulous welcome dinner. This evening will provide you with an upbeat, refreshing environment with good food, good networking and wonderful entertainment.
Theme Dinner: Zen Odyssey…Sacred Spaces
Leave the sea of stress behind and enter an oasis of calm…renew your spirit and refresh your soul as we honor the sacred adventure of everyday life.
Attire: Kimonos and free-flowing outfits
Before the sessions begin we meditate, stretch and exercise to get those endorphins flowing…
The morning continues with thought provoking sessions and break-outs and concludes with our traditional lunch “Destinations”. During the afternoon, some will relax; others will continue full blast by attending afternoon workshops that cover everything from protecting your financial portfolio to how to manage a personal or professional crisis.

The conference concludes with a special spiritual send-off, featuring the Odyssey Spiritual Choir, composed of participants from all denominations.
Our firm recruits at the highest levels (board directors for Fortune 500 companies, CEOs and their direct reports). I have never missed Linda’s conference because these events offer direct access to the most elite set of businesswomen of color. And, the access is neither distant nor formal. The platform that Linda creates puts all attendees at ease. They/we communicate and bond effortlessly; deals are done; skills are developed; next steps are identified.
