2026 I Matter Girls Conference

Empowering young ladies with etiquette, confidence, and life skills to help them create a brighter future. Welcome to the 11th Annual I Matter Girls Conference hosted by Loving Me 1st! On Saturday, October 17, 2026, we are gathering at Moreno Valley College for an unforgettable day of fellowship, inspiration, encouragement, expression, and joy. This free event is created specifically for middle and high school girls in grades 7 through 12, as well as their parents and guardians. Every year, our conference brings something fresh, and for our 11th year of serving our youth, this day is going to be truly special. With the daily pressures of social media and peer influence, our goal is to surround our young ladies with support and help them know beyond a doubt that they matter. What Attendees Will Experience • Social Etiquette Workshop: We are helping our girls build real confidence from the inside out by sharing practical tips on how to present themselves with grace and pride while staying comfortable. • Interactive Table Etiquette Meal: The girls will enjoy a guided 3 course meal experience where they will learn formal dining manners for upcoming banquets, weddings, homecoming dances, proms, and future professional events. • The Glow Up Bar: Every girl will get to create her own custom self care emergency kit while learning the importance of keeping everyday essential products on hand. • Parent and Guardian Sessions: While the girls are participating in their workshops, we have dedicated sessions designed specifically for parents and guardians to connect, learn, and grow together. • Free Meals, Giveaways, and Scholarships: Registration includes free breakfast and lunch, giveaways, and the announcement of four 500 dollar high school scholarships.
