Women in Focus Summit 2025

Welcome to year two of our annual Women In Focus Summit! We are excited to host this year’s event at , a creative hub that perfectly aligns with our mission. Expect this year's summit to be bigger and more interactive, offering more opportunities to learn, connect, and grow.

Our goal is to make Women In Focus as sustainable as possible while still ensuring a fun and engaging experience. From eco-friendly materials to thoughtful event planning, we are committed to reducing our environmental impact without compromising on the experience. We encourage our attendees to bring their own water bottles or canned/bottled drinks of juice. While we do plan to have canned drinks on site, our goal is to minimize waste, so there will also be cups available for dispensable water.

The summit spans two days, offering community-building opportunities and hands-on learning experiences tailored to different skill levels.

Women In Focus is more than just an event; it’s a movement dedicated to providing valuable resources and creating spaces where women and non-binary creatives can lead, innovate, and thrive. This isn’t just about representation; it’s about ensuring that every voice has the opportunity to shape the industry.
