Women Empower X (known as WEX) is the premier experience for women looking to grow personally and professionally. What started as an event in South Florida in the Fall of 2016 quickly grew into a worldwide movement reaching over 20,000 women in-person at our events, 1 million through our digital outlets, and to 40+ different countries virtually. Our focus is on equipping women with the knowledge, tools and community support to help them achieve the life they desire both personally & professionally.
At 17 she started her first company, at 21 she had a near-death experience and was given a 1% chance to live, today she uses her infectious energy and courageous spirit to empower women to turn their obstacles into opportunities and pursue their dreams.
She founded WEX in 2016 after noticing a need for diverse women to connect and collaborate in an atmosphere that empowered them to gain the courage to share not just what they do, but who they are. In 2021 Alexa landed a publishing deal for her book, Adaptable: How to Lead with Curiosity, Pivot with Purpose, and Thrive through Change.
Alexa Carlin has worked with Fortune Global 500 brands to create captivating and relatable content and has been featured on the Oprah Winfrey Network, Cheddar TV, FOX, ABC, CBS, TEDx and in Entrepreneur, Glamour Magazine, and Forbes among others. From a one percent chance to live to now on a mission to make a difference in one person's life a day, Alexa is creating ripple effects of change for women everywhere.
Our events bring together the most powerful and inspiring women with a focus on providing the knowledge, tools, and community to help take their business and life to the next level.
