How She Rises Global Summit 2026 - Shortening the Leadership Runway
The Mission: Shortening the Runway
The How She Rises Global Summit is the definitive executive-level forum designed to solve the most critical challenge in the modern talent landscape: the readiness gap. We merge real-time data, academic rigor, and executive experience to ensure that leadership success is a built system, not a game of probability.
In 2024, we officially launched the "Mission for the Million"—our commitment to shortening the leadership runway for one million women, moving them from the front door to the top floor in less than 10 years.
Each year, we advance the mission by merging real-time data, academic rigor, and executive experience to accelerate the path to power for women globally.
