100 Women Strong invites you to Elevate 2026, an engaging summit centered on “Creating a Healthy Community” for women and children.
This year’s experience features a fresh, fast-paced format with Lightning Talks and Spotlights. In addition to these dynamic talks, attendees will engage in interactive discussions, meaningful networking, and opportunities to deepen their connection to the 100 Women Strong mission.
Elevate is not only for women seeking to be empowered and to empower others; allies are welcome to join us for a day of learning, connection, and inspiration as we work together to elevate the lives of women and children across our region.
Engage with local nonprofits making a difference for women and children.
Our TED-inspired Lightning Talks put powerful ideas and passionate voices front and center.
Big ideas, bold visuals, zero filler—each PechaKucha-style spotlight packs expert insight into just 6 minutes and 40 seconds.
We heard you: more time to talk and connect! This year, we have two roundtable discussions to chat with your neighbors in meaningful ways.
