The Strength of A Woman Festival exists to elevate, educate, and empower women around the world to reach their highest potential. The mission is to mobilize a global convergence of multigenerational women in an authentic environment, “by us for us” while producing an experience fostering community, opportunity, and sisterhood! The Strength Of A Woman Summit is the ultimate destination for bringing this mission to life via engaging workshops and panel discussions led and moderated by female executives, creators, and entrepreneurs. Some of the top industry leaders will come together not only to exchange knowledge and experiences but to recognize and celebrate the greatness we see in each other as women in these industries and of course, share some laughs along the way.
