About CLIMB Conferences

The Beginning 

We are Brad and Hope Mueller and CLIMB started like many of our ideas—ideation, discussion, evolution, and then discuss again. Today, it’s a thriving organization that curates unparalleled experiences for individuals seeking confidence, leadership, inspiration, and motivation. Our journey started with a successful Women's Retreat in February 2023, and we’ve been growing ever since.
