about lightbringers

More than an event

A celebration of the women who are changing what leadership looks like and bringing others with them.

 

On December 4, How Women Lead will bring together hundreds of extraordinary women leaders for an unforgettable evening of connection, celebration, and collective impact.

We’ll honor the women who brought the light in 2026: the door openers, risk takers, and changemakers using their power and influence to create opportunity for others.

This is what happens when women come together with intention. We build relationships. We open doors. We create change.

 

Come celebrate how far we’ve come, the women who made it possible, and the work we’re ready to take on next.

The Evening

An evening of champagne, dinner, celebration, and connection with an extraordinary community of women leaders.

Meet the women leading the event

Our Co-Chairs are leading the vision for Lightbringers, bringing their leadership and influence to shape an unforgettable evening of celebration and impact.
