The Sunless Gala

Clarity is rarely a straight line.

​To be honest, this was one of the most difficult decisions I’ve ever had to make. It kept me up most nights, weighing the "shoulds" against my intuition. But after three years of massive shifts, I’ve realized that clarity often requires a pivot that feels uncomfortable at first.

​I’ve spent so much time lifting others up, but I reached a point where I knew I had to focus on my own cup before I could lead this community to the next level.

The redirection of the Sunless Gala comes from a place of deep passion—returning to my roots in skin health and the sunless industry, and niching down into the education I truly love.

​For the sake of my mental health and the excellence of this event, I am choosing to postpone the Gala. I am choosing to bloom into the version of myself that can lead you with total focus and intention.

​Thank you for holding space for me while I bring this vision into focus. Sometimes you have to pause the "show" to perfect the experience. 🥂

With so much love,
Your founder
Shelbey Roeder

The Sunless Gala has always been a space to create meaningful realtionships amongst entrepreneurs while creating deeper connections and raising awareness for skin cancer.

I started this event as a way to learn from one another, collaborate instead of compete, and share insights with each other.

Our line up of speakers have built brands and launched businesses of their own. You'll be able to dive into topics such as finances, business strategy, sustainable success, and mindset in a collaborative space that gets it!

We've invited entrepreneurs to collaborate with us to make the experience even more meaningful. We've elevated the menu, cocktails, and environment to not only make you feel like your not attending a conference but more like a gathering of powerhouse entrepreneurs expanding together!

ONE month to go!

We can't wait to kick off Bloom 2026 with amazing visionaries, good food, music, and connections.

We only have a few more VIP spots left!
Grab your seat at the table!
