IMPACT & INSPIRE Women's Networking Luncheon November 2026

FORUM’s IMPACT and INSPIRE Networking Events are dynamic gatherings designed to create meaningful connections among women from Government and Industry in Federal Technology. These events serve as a third space, beyond the workplace and home, where attendees can engage in enriching conversations, build lasting relationships, and forge new business opportunities.

At each IMPACT and INSPIRE event, a celebrated woman leader provides the keynote address to share their inspiring story, offering invaluable insights and personal experiences that resonate with attendees. These speakers, often trailblazers and catalysts in their respective fields, provide authentic and empowering narratives about the challenges they’ve faced and triumphs they’ve achieved. The leaders provide a transformative moment during each event, sparking reflection, conversation, and a renewed sense of purpose for all participants.

IMPACT and INSPIRE also heralds the power of networking by creating a fertile ground for mentorship, collaboration, and future partnerships. We foster a supportive environment where everyone is encouraged to uplift one another, creating an atmosphere that nurtures growth and success. With each event, the network of strong, influential women continues to expand, forming a collective force that drives change and innovation.
