Women's Leadership Summit

October 8-10, 2024 in Chicago

The profession is changing, and it’s about time. Women’s Leadership Summit, founded by AIA, exists to support and empower women on their leadership journeys and break down the barriers that get in their way.

This premier event brings together the industry’s largest network of diverse women in architecture, design, and the allied building industries who are moving into leadership roles and manifesting the careers they want—all while making a difference in the world.  

Join us in setting a new standard where women take the lead.
