FAQs

Who is the Autumn Fair really for?

The Autumn Fair is designed for anyone with a passion for creativity, innovation, and meaningful connections. Whether you're an aspiring or established solopreneur, entrepreneur, professional, influencer, or simply someone who appreciates discovering unique, thoughtfully curated products, this event offers a platform to connect, learn, and be inspired. Explore both homegrown and international brands, exchange ideas with like-minded individuals, and gain insights that can help you grow your own ventures.

What can I expect as a guest at the Autumn Fair?

Think of the fair as more than just an event — it's an experience. You'll step into a beautifully curated space where homegrown talent meets international brands, each one bringing unique stories, products, and ideas to the table. It's your chance to shop, explore, and be inspired by creativity that sparks new ways of thinking and doing.

How does the fair inspire me beyond shopping?

This isn't just about what you buy — it's about what you take away. Many of our guests leave with fresh ideas, renewed motivation, and sometimes even the spark to bring their own dream venture to life. The fair is designed to show you what's possible when passion and purpose come together.

Can I become a member of Upscale?

Absolutely! If you feel that pull to do more, to grow, and to surround yourself with like-minded people, you can join Upscale Connect right from our website by hitting the "Join Upscale" button. Once you sign up, our team will guide you through onboarding and help you tap into a community that supports your journey — whether that's starting a business, expanding your network, or simply finding inspiration.

Are there any special experiences for guests?

Yes, and they're some of the highlights! Beyond exploring carefully curated homegrown and global brands, you'll also have the chance to mingle, network, and enjoy our exclusive after-party, Twilight in Bloom. It's where connections turn into conversations, and the evening ends with elegance, laughter, and a whole lot of fun.

How can I become a Member of Upscale?

It's really simple — just click "Join Upscale" on the top of the page. Fill out the quick form, and we'll personally reach out and guide you through the onboarding so you feel right at home from the start. Our team loves getting to know you one-on-one, so you'll feel supported from day one.

What are the conditions to be a member?

You can be a current business founder, an emerging brand, or an individual with a passion or a business idea. We welcome those who are genuinely committed to growth, collaboration, and bringing their dreams to life. We may ask for some proof of your work (portfolio, product photos, story, social media handles) if relevant, so we can curate our community and ensure everyone supports and inspires each other.

What matters most is your willingness to engage with our community and actively participate in our programs and initiatives. We do ask that you show up, be respectful, and align with our values of creativity, authenticity, and collaboration.

Upscale isn't the place for quick-fix seekers or get-rich schemes — we go much deeper than that. And it's not meant for anyone looking for a passive experience without active involvement. This is a space for women who want to build something meaningful and are ready to grow alongside others doing the same.

What benefits will I get as a member?

As a member, you'll have access to our group forum on WhatsApp, where you'll receive bite-sized tips on business and business energetics three times a week to keep you inspired and moving forward. You'll be listed on our Members Directory so other members and potential collaborators can find you easily. Plus, you'll get first-hand access to all our programs and initiatives before they open to the public. On top of that, you'll be part of Upscale Connect's network of vetted founders and influencers who share ideas, feedback, and opportunities.

Once I'm in the group, how can I engage with the community?

We'll start by introducing you to the group so everyone can get to know you. After that, you're welcome to share more about yourself, ask for recommendations or advice, post about challenges you're facing, or even share tips and insights that could help others. It's all about creating real connections and building each other up.

What does it cost? Do I have to pay?

Not at all — there's no charge to become a member. It's completely free to join.
