✨ Panel Discussions – Engaging conversations with experienced Integrators, COOs, and leadership experts who have been where you are and know what it takes to thrive.

FEM Summit isn’t just about learning—it’s about connecting with women who truly understand your role. We are a powerful coalition of second-in-command leaders who are in the trenches every day—executing the business plan, aligning teams, and making sure everything runs smoothly. Simply put, we’re the ones getting sh*t done.
This is your chance to step away from the day-to-day and into a space where you’re surrounded by leaders just like you. You’ll gain practical strategies, real-world insights, and immediately actionable tools from women who have walked in your shoes. Whether you’re navigating leadership challenges or looking for fresh ideas, you’ll leave FEM Summit with new perspectives, renewed energy, and a network of women who have your back.
This is where second-in-command leaders come together, not just to learn—but to grow, share, and lead at the highest level.
A Room Full of Women Who Get YOU!
You’ll feel the connection you’ve been longing for.
