Call for Speakers

The 2026 Women’s Leadership Summit (WLS) is an opportunity to Advance the Leaders of Tomorrow.

Built around the Four Diamond philosophy – Develop, Grow, Support and Empower – WLS brings together women committed to investing in their personal and professional growth. Through candid conversations, practical insights and meaningful connections, attendees gain the tools, perspectives and support needed to move forward with confidence.

If you are interested in contributing to the conversation, we invite you to submit your name, bio and the topic you would like to address. While sessions aligned with the topics below are encouraged, we also welcome original ideas, new perspectives or strategies to help attendees succeed. Not everyone is comfortable presenting from the stage, and that’s okay. If you have valuable experience or insights to share, we encourage you to consider serving as a roundtable discussion moderator.

Presenters are welcome to choose the format best fitting their topic. Above all, we hope each session creates a meaningful experience that educates, inspires and empowers attendees to take bold steps in their personal and professional journey.

Submissions due Friday, July 17th.
