This year’s event will be held at <a href="https://www.asmsyracuse.com" title="https://www.asmsyracuse.com" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">The Oncenter</a> in Syracuse, NY on March 8th, 2024, which also happens to be International Women’s Day. Our mission statement for this year’s summit is, “Confidently lead with purpose, resilience, and innovation.” Leadership is not a “one-size fits all’ sort of deal, and we encourage any woman that is looking to improve their leadership skills to attend. Whether you are a small business owner, a high-level executive, running a household, or in their early stages of your career, every woman has a place at the CNY Women’s Summit. By having dynamic networking experiences, listening in on thought-provoking conversations, and engaging in energizing discussions, guests will leave this event ready to lead with confidence, purpose, and vision.
