2027 Women Leading Ed Summit
Thursday, April 29 - Saturday, May 1, 2027 | Charlotte, North Carolina
The annual WLE Summit is an exclusive, in-person convening of women superintendents and c-suite education executives.
This powerful three-day experience delivers high-impact speaker sessions, executive-level discussions, strategic networking, and elite leadership coaching specifically designed for women in education's highest positions.
Our extraordinary growth tells the story: from just 12 women district and state leaders meeting in a conference room in 2018, the Summit has expanded to welcome over 225 of education's most accomplished women executives in 2026. This remarkable trajectory reflects both the critical need for this forum and the unparalleled value it delivers.
The impact is undeniable: 100% of participants rated this experience at the highest level, departing with actionable strategies, enhanced executive capabilities, and clear pathways to amplify their institutional influence.
The Women Leading Ed Summit continues our tradition of excellence with purposeful growth. We've crafted every element to address the unique challenges faced by women superintendents and educational C-suite executives, creating the only professional convening explicitly designed for women in these pivotal leadership roles. Secure your place in this exceptional community of decision-makers who are defining education's future.
