Inside the VAAEN Virtual Assistant Digital Summit: What You Missed
There are moments when you attend something and think, “That was good.”
And then there are moments when you walk away and realize…
“That shifted something in me.”
The VAAEN Virtual Assistant Digital Summit was exactly that kind of experience.
Over the course of three days, we didn’t just gather to listen to information; we created a space where Virtual Assistants and business owners could learn, connect, reflect, and most importantly… take action.
This wasn’t about surface-level conversations or downloadable freebies that sit in your inbox untouched. This was about real training, real strategy, and real transformation from experts who poured their actual vaults of knowledge into this community.
And if you missed it… I’m going to be honest with you —You missed something powerful.
A Summit Designed for Action, Not Just Information
From the very beginning, our intention with the VAAEN Digital Summit was clear:
We didn’t want to create another event where you show up, feel inspired, and then go right back to doing the same things.
We wanted to create an experience where you could:
Gain clarity in your business
Learn strategies you can actually implement
Connect with other professionals and business owners
Walk away with tools that help you move forward
And that’s exactly what happened.
Our Live Sessions: Real Conversations, Real Strategy
Each day, we brought in powerful speakers who didn’t hold back. These sessions were not just presentations; they were conversations that challenged thinking and pushed attendees to step into their next level.
Day 1 – Amariah Murdock
You Hold The Power: Leading With Intention and Purpose as a Virtual Assistant
This session set the tone. It was a reminder that before anything else — systems, clients, pricing — you have to understand your power and your position as a Virtual Assistant. It was about ownership, leadership, and moving with intention.
Day 2 – Regina Baker-Chenier
Backend Brilliance: The VA’s Guide to Building a Business That Works (and Pays)
This was one of those sessions where you could feel the shift happening in real time. Regina broke down what it really takes to build a business that is not only functional but profitable. Structure, systems, and sustainability were at the center of this conversation.
Day 3 – Jennifer “JP” Pitre
The Presence Shift: The Inner Work Behind Professional Credibility
This session went deeper. It wasn’t just about what you do, it was about how you show up. Confidence, visibility, and professional presence were at the core, and it challenged attendees to look inward while building outward.

Inside the Summit: 15 Contributor Booths
One of the most unique aspects of this summit was our virtual booth experience.
We had over 15 contributors who didn’t just show up; they gave real value. These were not quick downloads or surface-level resources. These were trainings, tools, and insights pulled directly from their expertise and experience.
Each booth offered something different, allowing attendees to explore areas such as:
Finding your niche
Building systems
Marketing and visibility
AI and automation
Client readiness and business structure

What made this special is that these contributors were intentional. They weren’t just participating, they were pouring into this community.
And while the summit has ended, some of these trainings (with permission) will be available inside the VAAEN Launchpad for continued learning.
The Power of Connection: Speed Networking
Let’s talk about what really surprised people…
The networking.
We hosted live speed networking sessions that brought together Virtual Assistants and business owners from diverse industries, backgrounds, and stages of business. The sessions were hosted by Global Business Plaza, Founder Peggy McCartha.
And what happened in those rooms?
Connections were made.
Not just surface-level introductions, but real conversations. The kind where you realize:
You’re not alone
Someone else is navigating the same challenges
There are opportunities sitting right in the room
You never know who you’re going to meet:
A potential client.
A collaborator.
A referral partner.
That’s the power of being in the room.
Celebrating Our Winners
We also want to take a moment to celebrate the individuals who showed up, engaged, and walked away with some amazing opportunities.
Congratulations to: Michelle, Stephnie, Tanesha, Olivia, Ainsley, Desi-Ann, Moni & Heather

Each of these winners took action, and that’s what this summit was about.
