2026 Women’s Leadership Summit (WLS)
Advancing the Leaders of Tomorrow
November 2-3, 2026 | San Antonio, Texas
Every year, women from across the country attend the Women’s Leadership Summit (WLS) to learn, connect and grow alongside other women committed to investing in their future.
Presented by October Research, WLS was created to provide a supportive environment where accomplished leaders and rising professionals can step away from daily demands and focus on their personal and professional development.
Since launching in 2022, WLS has grown into a community shaped by shared experiences, lasting connections and conversations that continue long after the event ends.
Investing in What’s Next
New for 2026!
Take the Emotional Quotient (EQ) Assessment
For WLS 2026, we will be offering an optional Emotional Quotient (EQ) Assessment. Top performers and effective leaders often share one critical trait: strong emotional intelligence. The EQ Assessment provides insight into how effectively you understand and manage your own emotions while building productive relationships with others. The results highlight strengths, identify growth opportunities and provide a framework for improving communication, leadership, collaboration and overall performance.
For those who choose to participate:
- Select the EQ Assessment option during registration.
- Complete the online assessment before the designated deadline.
- Receive your personalized EQ report, approximately 14-pages.
- Attend the exclusive pre-WLS webinar to better understand your results.
- Bring your insights to the Women’s Leadership Summit, where selected sessions and discussions will build upon themes identified through the participant assessments.
I love a good summit to enhance my growth opportunities and leadership skills. Everything presented at WLS was informative and relatable. I will incorporate what I gained from the Summit immediately and also guide those who were not on my new knowledge.
WLS is built around the Four Diamond philosophy…
