About the event
A movement, not just a conference
Midlife arrives all at once. The body changing. The identity
shifting. The career plateauing. Parents aging. Marriages
ending. Children leaving. Grief that has no name and no
ceremony. And underneath all of it — a woman who is more
powerful, more clear-eyed, and more ready than she has ever
been. Midicon was built for her.
We are the first summit dedicated to midlife women in its full,
unfiltered complexity — not just menopause, but everything that
arrives alongside it. Health and hormones, yes. But also
divorce, empty nesting, caregiving, ageism, loss, reinvention,
and the radical freedom of finally giving zero f*cks.
We bring together clinicians, researchers, therapists, coaches,
advocates, creators, and everyday women to do what no other
event does: hold the whole picture. Science alongside
storytelling. Clinical expertise alongside lived experience. A
room full of women who are done being invisible.
63% of all U.S. women are in midlife right now. They control
$600 billion in annual spending and make 85% of all household
purchasing decisions. Sources: U.S. Census Bureau, via Society

Health. Wealth. Work. Relationships. Caregiving. Identity. Purpose.
Midlife is one of the most transformative periods in a woman's
life - and one of the least understood.
The Midlife Power Index ™
is changing that, capturing the experiences shaping women in
midlife today. Not just menopause, but the full picture.
Together, we're uncovering what women are really experiencing -
and what employers, healthcare systems, brands, and policymakers
need to understand.
Because what gets measured gets recognized.
And what gets recognized gets changed.
