International Woman's Day - Together We Rise

International Women’s Day 2026: Together We Rise

Join us for our annual International Women’s Day: Together We Rise celebration

An inspiring evening that brings together women entrepreneurs, professionals, and community leaders from across our region.

This year’s event features a leadership panel of local business owners and public-sector leaders who will share their journeys, insights, and lessons learned.

New this year, our Knowledge Bar will offer a series of interactive stations where attendees can pick up quick, practical tips on topics such as marketing, finances, leadership, wellness, and more. Each station is designed to spark learning, connection, and meaningful conversation.

With valuable takeaways, engaging activities, and an uplifting atmosphere, this event is all about celebrating women’s achievements and rising together as a community.
