2027 Women's Executive Forum
Convene Willis Tower, Chicago
March 12, 2027

The association and nonprofit world is shifting, and the women who lead through it will not get there the old way. They will Move Different. On March 12, 2027, the Women's Executive Forum will bring together women association professionals at every stage of the journey, from the coordinator taking on her first big project, to the director building her team, to the executive redefining her organization's future. This is the day you trade the old playbook for bolder moves, sharper strategy, and the relationships that turn ambition into action because your next role, your next idea, your next breakthrough rarely happens alone. It happens through people. 
 
Save the date: March 12, 2027, in Chicago. Your next move starts here, in the network where next moves happen.
