Building Strong Networks of Generosity, Opportunity, and Transformation
Celebrate International Women’s Day with us on March 12, 2026, for an evening of thought-provoking dialogue and meaningful connections. This year’s event begins with a dynamic panel discussion at the iconic Fairmont Copley Plaza, featuring influential women leaders who are driving change in our communities. Following the panel, we’ll transition to a special networking reception to continue the conversation and foster new connections.
This year’s program highlights how women-led networks and inclusive systems unlock opportunity, strengthen communities, and drive lasting social impact for all. The evening is designed to inspire action, deepen community connections, and provide opportunities to engage directly with advocates and changemakers.
Doors will open 30 mins before the event begins, to allow for additional networking with other likeminded global citizens.
