Women's Leadership Summit

Napa, CA
July 19 – 21, 2023

An Exclusive Experience
This invitation only Women’s Summit is created for and by senior women executives in marketing. The idea is simple: bring women in leadership roles together to engage in discussions about achieving personal career success while fostering an environment for women to connect and exchange marketing insights with one another. This experience is based on 3 core values:

  1. Professional development goes hand-in-hand with personal growth.
  2. Problems get solved by very smart people in small groups.
  3. Powerful networks are built on meaningful connections.

Takeaways
As a participant you will be part of a curated group of 70 senior leaders. You will be inspired, you will be challenged, and you will be better prepared to deal with obstacles that you face in your industry. Whether through marketer led workshops, adventures at a winery, or a night time campfire, you will forge relationships that will strengthen your support network and overall career path well beyond the Summit.

Who Should Attend
The Summit is free to attend (complimentary stay in Napa and Summit pass) for qualified senior level brand & agency executives. To be a participant we ask that you come prepared to be an active contributor and to stay the entirety of the event. You won’t want to miss this!
