Posh Weekend

Caribbean POSH Weekend started just over seven years ago with the POSHgirl POWER Brunch. Greeted with an overwhelming response the event has evolved over the years, into now becoming a full destination event.

We are inviting Caribbean women of power and influence to Caribbean POSH Weekend: USVI 2023. A stylish weekend event designed for networking, fashion, food, laughter, inspiration, and woman empowerment. Caribbean women and the men who love them meet in paradise to celebrate all things Caribbean POSH.

With the POSHgirl POWER Brunch as the highlight, focus remains on the most pressing issues influencing the personal and professional well-being of female entrepreneurs in the Caribbean, particularly in the areas of Fashion, Entertainment, Marketing, and Retail.
