Disruptive Dialogue 2025 - Investing in Women’s Leadership

Join us for the sixth edition of Disruptive Dialogue, presented by Pourqoui Pas, a half-day experience designed to challenge the status quo and elevate real-world women’s leadership across corporate, community, and grassroots sectors.

This year’s event explores the question: What does investing in women’s leadership look like?

Whether you’re looking to grow your leadership skills, connect with like-minded changemakers, or support local women-led initiatives, this is the place to be.

Disruptive Dialogue is for you if you are ready to:

• Gain actionable leadership insights
• Spark new connections and build your network
• Learn about the impact of Women United
• Be inspired by leaders driving change in our community

Each year Women United brings vital conversations to the forefront and amplifies the voices of local experts and those who embody our impact pillars.

Hear directly from individuals empowering women in leadership and the future of our communities—from boardrooms to grassroots movements.

You’ll spark new connections with people leading change across sectors. Alongside a thought-provoking program, you’ll have the chance to meet and mingle with community leaders, Women United Champions, a network of influential female executives across industries, and recipients of our 2025 Community Action Grants. Stay tuned for our full agenda and speaker announcements.

Whether you're looking to expand your professional network, explore mentorship, or find collaborators, you’ll be in excellent company.
