Now in its eleventh year, the Summit is the world's premiere gathering of women leaders in business, government, academia, philanthropy, and the arts. Each fall, a select group comes together to exchange big ideas. Our gathering will take place Sept 14-16, 2009 in North San Diego, CA.
This year's theme: “Betting on the Future.” We're in a time of historic change, so in addition to our usual lineup of stars from Fortune's Most Powerful list, we'll be spotlighting innovators and game changers in business and beyond--fearless leaders like the new women in the Obama administration, the smartest and freshest thinkers in tech. You need more than great idea-sharing; you need best practices and discoveries to take home and help you and your organizations succeed.
Our program — no speeches! — is diverse and designed to facilitate energetic and provocative conversation. Participation is by invitation only.
