This dynamic event is designed to celebrate, educate, and foster connections among women.

Women are driving change across male-dominated industries, yet opportunities designed specifically to support their growth and leadership remain far too limited. The BBB Industrious Women’s Summit (IWS) was created to change that—bringing together powerhouse speakers, hands-on workshops, and real-world strategies tailored for women making bold moves in their careers and communities. With the support of industry leaders, content experts, and visionary sponsors, IWS has thrived for seven incredible years.
