Take Up Space: Women Leading with Confidence, Influence & Impact

 

Join us in New Orleans for Empowering Women 2026 Conference & Awards GALA—an unforgettable experience designed for women who are ready to lead boldly, show up fully, and own their impact in industry.

 

This year’s theme, Take Up Space, is a call to action for women who know their value and are ready to claim it—without shrinking, second-guessing, or waiting for permission.

 

Over two powerful days, attendees will experience:

• Inspirational keynotes from women leading across industry

• Practical leadership sessions focused on confidence, advocacy, visibility, and growth

• Meaningful connection with women who understand the unique challenges of male-populated industries

• A powerful Awards GALA honoring women who are shaping the future and creating space for others

You belong here. And the space you take matters.
