WNORTH Summit returns to New York City for Year 3!

A GATHERING OF INFLUENTIAL WOMEN DURING THE UNITED NATIONS GENERAL ASSEMBLY

WNORTH is an award-winning membership network dedicated to bridging the gender power gap by elevating women in the leadership pipeline across North America. WNORTH brings together professional women at a high level to share their systems, networks, knowledge, and experience and to collectively code leadership and management environments to women’s experiences.

On September 17, 2026, WNORTH will gather in New York City during the United Nations General Assembly for the 3rd year for a timely and powerful convening of women leaders.   This summit is designed with purpose—bringing together trailblazers from business, policy, social impact, and innovation to explore how women are reshaping power, influence, and leadership on the global stage. Against the backdrop of one of the world’s most important diplomatic weeks, we’ll host bold conversations, foster meaningful connections, and spark new ideas that will drive the next chapter of collective progress.

With the participation of 100 community leaders, changemakers, women leaders, and male allies, this summit promises to deliver valuable insights and foster meaningful connections.
