Unexpectedly You 2027

Unexpectedly You 2027 March 24–25, 2027 | Ashton Hill, Cedar Rapids, Iowa Life has a funny way of taking us places we never expected to go. The plans change. The path takes a turn. Opportunities appear out of nowhere. Sometimes we’re handed challenges we never would have chosen, and sometimes life surprises us with something better than we ever could have planned. And through all of it, we grow, we pivot, we learn, we laugh, and we become versions of ourselves we may never have expected. Welcome to Unexpectedly You, the 2027 You Conference. Join us for two unforgettable days filled with powerful stories, honest conversations, meaningful connection, plenty of laughter, and the kind of moments that stay with you long after the conference is over. We’re thrilled to be returning to the beautiful Ashton Hill Farm for another year and cannot wait to share everything we have planned. Speaker announcements, conference details, schedules, and more will be released in the weeks and months ahead. For the latest information and announcements, visit the You Conferences website or follow the Unexpectedly You Facebook event. Come as you are. Leave a little more Unexpectedly You. Here's what you can expect for the event: Wednesday, March 24th | 4 pm - 8 pm We open our event at 4:00 pm on Wednesday, March 24th for an evening of networking, light bites, cocktails, mocktails and inspiring conversation. Enjoy some music, casual programming, local non-profits and a few hand selected small businesses to learn from. This event wraps at 8:00 pm. Come for a short time, or stay the whole evening.
