SIM Women Summit

Join Us! 

Inside SIM, we describe ourselves as at the "intersection of technology and business," and this is truer today than ever. Our 2024 SIM Women Leadership Summit theme is "New Intersections Ahead!" The thought leaders we've engaged for Summit are exploring old and new, tech and human, emotions and data, and the intersections of it all. People are so focused on the new side of AI/tech that they're missing that this isn't an "all-in" situation. The "and" we use is deliberate as thinking in terms of "versus" implies you could make the "wrong" choice or end up on the "wrong" side. We need to approach leadership with an even greater human quotient because the tech will enhance processing and analytical capabilities, while our reasoning, ethics, and ability to both adapt and engage our teams will be the skills most in demand to successfully navigate the changes ahead. Begin by identifying the intersection of where you are currently and the path that will take you where you want to be.
 
Whether you are focused on your own personal journey or the journey facing your team, the SIM Women Leadership Summit offers enlightening perspectives and guiding principles that will illuminate opportunities for growth. We have always helped organizations to augment their diversity in their leadership ranks and we're especially proud of this year's content as we are at a pivotal moment. The choices we make today will impact exponentially the access and opportunities for the next generation of female leaders. We need to understand the new intersections ahead as it will take engaging all hands and voices to create a future that is inclusive, equitable, and filled with opportunity.
 
The SIM Women Leadership Summit offers an engaging day of inspiring professional development and networking plus thought leadership and solutions across three tracks: EXEMPLIFY. EMPOWER. EDUCATE. Exemplify is for female C-suite leaders looking to grow beyond their current roles whether in terms of Board Pursuit, moving to a new CXO role, or investing in Private Equity to support diverse founders. Empower is for those striving to achieve a C-level position and we focus on what you need to sail over those last few hurdles. Educate is a split track for those who wish to learn - either greater technical depth for those who'd rather be a Chief Architect instead of a CDO, or greater emotional quotient depth to cultivate talent, improve mentoring, and philanthropic outreach.
 
Our Summit Council has curated topics relevant to technology leaders today along with a strong programming focus on diversity, equity, equality, inclusion, and belonging. This is your opportunity to engage and energize both yourself and your career! 
 
Don't miss out! Register today and learn how to navigate the new intersections ahead for YOU!  

Registration is Open!
