8th Annual Her Future Summit: Roundtable Edition

September 24, 2026 | 2:00–5:00 PM ET

Oppenheimer & Co. Inc. | New York CityOn the Sidelines of UNGA Week

Presented by Her Future Project and Global Startup Ecosystem

The 8th Annual Her Future Summit will convene women leaders, executives, entrepreneurs, professionals, and innovators at the World Trade Center in New York City on September 24, 2026, on the sidelines of UNGA Week.

Presented by the Her Future Project and Global Startup Ecosystem, this year's Roundtable Edition will focus on preparing women for the changing landscape of business and the workplace, with conversations centered on Artificial Intelligence, leadership, career advancement, personal branding, entrepreneurship, and the future of work.

Artificial Intelligence is rapidly changing how organizations operate, how professionals work, and how businesses compete. At the same time, professional visibility, reputation, adaptability, and leadership are becoming increasingly important to long-term career and business success.

Her Future Summit will bring these conversations together through an intimate three-hour program designed to provide practical insights, thoughtful dialogue, and meaningful connections among women at different stages of their professional and entrepreneurial journeys.

The program will include keynote conversations, executive panels, interactive roundtable discussions, a personal branding workshop, audience Q&A, and networking, with participation from leaders across the summit's partner network, including Google, IBM Cloud, AWS, Celonis, and others.

This year's summit will examine several areas shaping the next generation of women's leadership.

Artificial Intelligence & the Future of WorkHow AI is changing organizations, industries, careers, and entrepreneurship—and how women can develop the knowledge and adaptability required to remain competitive.

Career Trailblazing & LeadershipPractical perspectives on career advancement, leadership, professional transitions, executive positioning, and building a career that can evolve alongside changing personal and professional priorities.

Work-Life HarmonyAn open conversation about ambition, leadership, family, wellbeing, and creating sustainable approaches to professional success.

Personal Branding & Professional PositioningHow women can strengthen their reputation, communicate their expertise, increase professional visibility, and position themselves for meaningful opportunities.

Entrepreneurship & Business LeadershipHow emerging technologies and changing business models are creating new opportunities for women to build, lead, and grow companies.

Led by Christine Ntim, Founder of Her Future Summit.

Personal branding has become increasingly associated with content creation, social media visibility, and audience growth. However, visibility alone does not necessarily translate into stronger career opportunities, partnerships, clients, or sustainable revenue.

This practical workshop will introduce a more structured approach to personal branding by examining how expertise, positioning, reputation, products, platforms, promotion, and monetization can work together.

Participants will be encouraged to think beyond simply building an audience and instead consider how their personal brand can function as a long-term professional and business asset.
