Beauty + the Bias 2025 / All-Women Panel • Refreshments • Vendors

The grand finale of the AAFCM programming season is upon us! The 8th Annual Beauty & The Bias Panel is Thursday, May 8th, starting at 5 PM at StageWorks @ Davidson Opera House in St. Cloud.

In addition to the panel, our women-owned businesses market will be held. You can expect a night of female-focused fun and fantastic conversation, with a bit of shopping mixed in.

Beauty & The Bias was born out of the desire to amplify and empower the voices of businesswomen in our communities. When so often women must fight for a spot at the table, we’re making our own and inviting all of you. We know that shifting the perception of females in the workplace is a marathon, not a sprint, but we hope that by providing opportunities like this, we’re taking those first steps in the right direction.

Don’t let the name fool you, though. This event is open to everyone. In fact, we encourage people of all genders, walks of life, professions, and passions to join in on the conversation. We guarantee you’ll leave this event with more than you came with, and we don’t just mean the goodies from the market.

So, what’re you waiting for? Come support AAFCM, local business owners, and help us #breakthebias.
