About this Event

Women Who Influence Summit
Where Ambition Meets Culture.

One Day. Hundreds of Women. Endless Opportunities.

Join fierce women shaping the future where big dreams mix with bold culture—and let’s make moves together.

What if one conversation could change the direction of your career?

What if the person sitting beside you became your next business partner, investor, mentor, client, employer, or lifelong collaborator?

Welcome to the Women Who Influence Summit, an immersive leadership experience where ambitious women, entrepreneurs, executives, creatives, nonprofit leaders, investors, students, and changemakers come together to learn, build meaningful relationships, and shape what’s next.

This isn’t a conference where you sit in the audience all day.

It’s a place where conversations begin, ideas are challenged, opportunities are created, and relationships continue long after the day ends.

Whether you’re building a business, advancing your career, leading an organization, or discovering your next chapter, you’ll leave with more than inspiration you’ll leave with people, ideas, and opportunities that can become part of your journey.

Your Experience Begins Here

From the moment you arrive, you’ll step into an environment intentionally designed for connection.

Enjoy breakfast and coffee while meeting women from across industries before the day’s experiences begin.

No awkward networking.
No wondering who to talk to.
Just authentic conversations with people who are here for the same reason you are—to grow.

The Opening Keynote

We’ll begin by exploring the future of leadership, innovation, entrepreneurship, and the changing opportunities shaping women across New York and beyond.

Prepare to be challenged.
Prepare to think differently.
Prepare to dream bigger.

Signature Experiences
The Culture Lounge

Pop-ups, connection & networking.

The Culture Lounge is the heartbeat of the summit a space to discover women-owned businesses, innovative brands, community organizations, resources, and new people.

Shop. Connect. Explore. Collaborate.

Because sometimes the opportunity you’ve been looking for begins with simply being in the right room.

Where Ambition Meets Culture
Signature Panel — Where are we going?

Our signature panel brings together visionary founders, executives, policymakers, investors, creatives, and industry leaders for a big-picture conversation about the future of leadership, entrepreneurship, influence, culture, and opportunity.

What’s changing?
Where are the opportunities?
And how do we position ourselves for what comes next?

Expect real perspectives.
Real strategies.
Real conversations.

Unfiltered Influence
Intimate Panel — What did it really take?

Success stories often begin after the hardest parts have been edited out.

Unfiltered Influence brings together a smaller group of women for an honest conversation about what happened behind the accomplishments.

The rejection.
The sacrifices.
The mistakes.
The pivots.
The risks.
The moments they questioned everything and what kept them moving anyway.

No highlight reels. Just honest conversations about what it really takes to build, lead, grow, and become.

The Power Seat
Fireside Conversation — What can I learn from someone who’s done it?

Pull up a chair.

The Power Seat is an intimate fireside conversation that brings you closer to an influential leader and the decisions that shaped their journey.

You’ll hear about the moments that don’t always make the headlines:

The setbacks.
The pivots.
The risks.
The opportunities.
The decisions that changed everything.

Most importantly, you’ll walk away with lessons you can apply to your own journey.

Shape Your Next Move

The summit isn’t only about listening. It’s about figuring out what comes next for you.

Explore experiences designed to help you turn ideas and inspiration into action:

Legacy Lab → Building Wealth & Impact
Identity & Influence → Personal Brand + Storytelling
The Reset Room → Wellness & Resilience Practices
Influence in Action → Live Coaching & Activation
Protecting Your Work → Owning Your Ideas

Learn something. Try something. Ask the question. Make the connection.

Then take your next move beyond the room.

Lunch & Connection

Some of the most meaningful conversations don’t happen on stage.

They happen across the table.

Share a meal, exchange ideas, and continue building relationships in a relaxed environment designed to bring people together.

Good Company
Evening Mixer with Music + Community

As the summit transitions into the evening, the conversation continues.

Good Company is our signature networking experience where professionals, entrepreneurs, executives, creatives, investors, nonprofit leaders, and community builders come together over music, conversation, and community.

It feels less like another networking event and more like being welcomed into the right room.
