International Women’s Day 2026

Join us on March 12 in celebration of International Women’s Day for an impactful panel on SDG 5: Gender Equality and a networking reception!

Building Strong Networks of Generosity, Opportunity, and Transformation

Celebrate International Women’s Day with us on March 12, 2026, for an evening of thought-provoking dialogue and meaningful connections. This year’s event begins with a dynamic panel discussion at the iconic Fairmont Copley Plaza, featuring influential women leaders who are driving change in our communities. Following the panel, we’ll transition to a special networking reception to continue the conversation and build connections locally, nationally, and globally through thoughtful dialogue.

The evening is designed to inspire action, deepen community connections, and provide opportunities to engage directly with advocates and changemakers.
