UPLEVEL
Dealernews Diversity Editor Alisa Clickenger continues to up her game, this time hosting the 3rd Women’s Motorcycle Conference Online, March 12-13. The theme for the virtual event was “Uplevel” —developed specifically for all female motorcycle riders and women interested in the motorcycle lifestyle. Originally planned for 15 educational seminars, Uplevel exceeded every expectation by a country mile! Sort of like the old AM/PM campaign… there was just too much good stuff, even for two very full days.
“Last week we wrapped up the 3rd Women’s Motorcycle Conference Online, with 25 presenters, 21 separate presentations and four connection sessions,” say Woman’s Motorcycle Tour leader-turned virtual impresario. So much for the 15 and 2 connection sessions she had planned for! “It was worth it for the women who joined in, but it was a bit more work that the last one.
“We heard from women who ride off-road, women who wrench on their own bikes, a mother-moto vlogger, a vitality coach, a health coach, a confidence coach, a female movie producer, a woman who found peace in riding trials bikes after a near-fatal bicycle accident, two nonprofit organizations that support women riders, a world traveler on two wheels, a Baja 1000 winner and Dakar competitor… and we even got the tires 101 crash course straight from the pit in Daytona.” The types of presentations vary within each conference, ranging from educational sessions to interviews to panels of women experts… this time it was all of them! “As always, I work towards to an optimal blend of education, mindset and inspiration with the different presentations. Each conference has a guiding theme, so the information is always fresh and exciting,” claims Clickenger. “The online conferences were conceived as a way for women who enjoy powersports to come together in community to share ideas, to grow as people and to grow as riders.
“Even when we overdo it, we always have a fascinating mix of professionals and highly relatable riding enthusiasts, and although our audience is both men and women, all my presenters are always women.” But this is just the beginning, according to Alisa. “I can’t wait to take this to the next level with the LIVE Women’s Motorcycle Festival and Conference on August 19-22, 2021.”
