2026 BBB Industrious Women's Summit (IWS) Phoenix

Join us on August 21st, for this one-day, in-person event designed to celebrate, educate, and foster connections among women in the trades.
About this Event

This year's theme is: Powering the Next Era

Women are no longer waiting for a seat at the table. They are building the table.

Yet intentional spaces designed to fuel their leadership, sharpen their strategy, and expand their networks remain limited. BBB Industrious Women’s Summit (IWS) was created to change that—bringing together powerhouse speakers, hands-on workshops, and real-world strategies tailored for women making bold moves in their careers and communities.

For eight years, BBB Industrious Women’s Summit has championed women in the trades and beyond, bringing together industry leaders, content experts, and visionary sponsors to support and elevate women across industries.

We are currently accepting sponsors, business booth applications, and in-kind donations and services. To learn more, visit iws.bbbcommunity.org.
