Get Ready for The Most Empowering Day of Your Meetings Life

Make plans today to join the community of leaders at the original gathering of influential women in meetings: Smart Woman Summit. This is your chance to champion your career by being in the room where alliances are formed, problems are solved, and futures are made. By celebrating your greatness, we all rise up together.

Highlighted Sessions:

Ladies Who Lead Lunch

Join your fellow Smart Women in a brainstorming afternoon that tackles the biggest challenges in the meetings industry as you band together to solve shared problems. Trained “provocateurs” will lead your matched group through an exercise in discovery and innovation.

This is your chance to build your personal advisory board of experts to turn to for expert advice when you need it most.

Luxury “Me Time”

It’s pampering time as you will be treated to a personalized gifting experience worth more than $1,000 from Bulova Watch, Joycoast, Essential Bodywear and more. We pop the cork on an afternoon that celebrates your fabulousness.

Smart Women in Meetings Awards Gala

This is the most exclusive evening of the year in the meetings industry. Dress for the occasion as we celebrate the leaders who elevate our events and spread joy and transformation. The spotlight is on you and your allies as we sing the praises of the Visionaries, Innovators, Industry Leaders, Stellar Performers, Entrepreneurs and Rising Stars. We invite winners from all years to join us as we celebrate greatness and encourage more of it in the years to come. This is where the movement happens.

Special Performance by The Water Coolers

Get ready to laugh, nod in recognition and sing along as this celebrated troupe of Broadway singers and comedians kicks off the evening with a performance that will include a special tribute to Women in Meetings, created just for the gala.
