About this Event

The future is not waiting — it is being built by women who have the courage to lead it.

The 2nd Annual Unleash Your Potential: Women Who Own the Future brings together leaders, innovators, and allies to spotlight the women shaping Technology, Defense, Cybersecurity, and Artificial Intelligence. This event is designed to make these industries accessible, inspiring, and within reach — whether you are already in the field, exploring a path forward, or supporting the next generation ready to step into it.

You belong in this room.

This is more than a summit. It is a platform, a movement, and a room filled with possibility.
It is a room where visibility becomes opportunity and potential turns into leadership.
What You'll Experience:

  • A powerful keynote from Abigail Fabian leading in Tech and Defense
  • Discussions diving into Cybersecurity how it relates to true crime and AI
  • A dynamatic fireside chat featuring the women who are owning these industries
  • Meaningful networking with professionals and allies
  • Insight into career pathways, leadership journeys, and real-world impact


We believe representation matters. Exposure matters. Access matters.
By opening this space to professionals, aspiring leaders, students, and families, we are building a bridge between curiosity and opportunity.
Come learn. Come connect. Come support the women who are leading the future.
