• Choose a date during March 8–14, 2027.

Required for calendar acceptance: your event description must include the shared Female Founder Week paragraph below.

You will expand your own event description after creating the event.

Copy the paragraph, then paste it below your own event description.

Calendar inclusion is subject to review. Promote your event as an official event only after approval. This paragraph does not replace the registration information-sharing notice.

• Choose Free or set your paid ticket price.
• Use Luma for event registration.
• Check that the price shown to attendees is correct.

You remain responsible for ticketing and delivering your event.

• Set Require Approval to On.

Your host team reviews registration requests and approves attendees.

This is separate from Female Founder Week reviewing your event for the calendar.

• Enter the maximum number of attendees your venue and event format can accommodate.
• Check the capacity before you create the event.

• Review the title, date, timezone, location, description, ticket price, approval setting, and capacity.

Creating a Luma event does not submit it to the official calendar.

Open your event description to edit it. Help a founder decide whether this is the right room for her. Copy these prompts into your description, then replace each bracketed note with your own details.

Paste into your Luma description and replace all bracketed text before submitting.

Keep the shared Female Founder Week paragraph at the end.

Be specific about the value. Distinguish confirmed speakers and arrangements from plans.

Luma collects names and email addresses. Keep additional questions focused on information needed to deliver the event.

Waiting on the final requirements. The exact shared questions and attendee information-sharing wording will appear here before submissions open. Leave this step unchecked until those requirements are available and added to your event.

In your event dashboard, choose Add Host, add the designated Female Founder Week account, and enable Manager access. A public host name alone does not grant management access.

This allows our team to review details, coordinate event communications, and access registration information. Your team remains responsible for costs, venue, vendors, and on-site delivery.

Host account coming soon. The exact account will be provided here when submissions open. Leave this step unchecked until access has been granted.

• Set event visibility to Public.
• Check the title, date, timezone, address, tickets, and capacity.
• Confirm Require Approval is on.
• Confirm the venue is in the San Francisco Bay Area and the event is in person.
• Read the description: is the audience and founder outcome clear?
• Replace every placeholder and check all links.
• Confirm the shared paragraph, registration requirements, and management access are in place.
• Check that registration works as intended.

Review the event criteria before submitting.

When submissions open, use the official calendar link and choose Submit Event. Share your existing Luma event so there is one event page to maintain.

We review the audience, intended outcome, logistics, registration setup, and management access. Submission does not automatically add an event to the calendar.

Submissions are not open yet. The official link will appear below. Check this step only after you have submitted through Luma.
