Mark your calendar for November 13th, 2026, and join us at the Delegates Dining Room – United Nations in the heart of New York City as we commemorate the 13th Anniversary of our internationally recognized day, Women’s Entrepreneurship Day, proclaimed on November 19th!
At WEDO, we believe entrepreneurship is one of the most powerful ways to break the cycle of poverty, restore confidence, create economic independence, and transform lives. Whether we’re empowering women in villages around the world, providing AI education to underserved communities, connecting founders with investors, or supporting women rebuilding their lives after incarceration, our mission remains the same:
Create opportunity where it’s needed most.
The #WEDO2026 Summit brings that mission to life.
Whether you’re building a company, launching your next idea, investing in the future, or looking to surround yourself with people who inspire you to think bigger, you’ll find your community at WEDO.
Grow your network – Discover new opportunities – Learn from extraordinary leaders – Build lifelong relationships – Make a lasting IMPACT!
This is more than a Summit. This is a global movement.
