2026 Impact Awards Luncheon: Powered by Synergy, Driven by Impact

Join WBEC Metro NY and Greater DMV for the 2026 Impact Awards Luncheon, a signature celebration bringing our full network together across two sister regions for an afternoon of recognition and relationship-building.

One Network. Two Regions. Shared Impact.

Taking place on Friday, November 20, 2026, at the Mandarin Oriental in New York City, this year’s luncheon creates a larger shared platform for WBEs, corporate partners, sponsors, Marketplace participants, and regional leaders to gather in one room.

This year’s theme, Powered by Synergy, Driven by Impact, reflects the strength of bringing both regions together to celebrate the partnerships, business wins, and leadership creating impact across Metro NY and Greater DMV.

By attending, you can expect a meaningful, high-energy gathering that:

• Honors achievement

• Spotlights the people and organizations strengthening our ecosystem

• Opens new opportunities for cross-regional engagement

We look forward to gathering in New York City for a celebration worthy of the impact being made every day by the women business owners, partners, and leaders across Metro NY and Greater DMV.

We hope to celebrate with you! Register today!

Marketplace registration is now closed. To inquire on availability, please contact dparker@wbecnydmv.org.

Select Sponsorship opportunities are available, with options offering multi-month visibility leading up to the luncheon and throughout the event.
