Setting the Standard

For 31 years the Simmons Leadership Conference has set the standard for women's professional events, presenting an extraordinary blend of thought leadership, motivation, and above all, networking.

Elevate Your Potential

This year's program continues the tradition with a power-packed day of information and inspiration for over 2,000 women seeking to compete in today's changing business climate while maintaining balance in their lives. As one recent attendee summed up this unique experience: This is a day to elevate your potential.

A Showcase for Women's Achievements

Featuring one of the most prestigious gatherings of women leaders to be found in a single venue, the 2010 conference—aptly themed The Spirit of Resilience—is a showcase for women's collective achievements.

From leaders of state and top executives of major corporations to media personalities and Hollywood celebrities, world-renowned speakers relate their professional experiences and personal stories in an intimate setting.

An exceptional variety of business, management, and lifestyle experts lead skill-building sessions, providing invaluable tools to put theory into immediate practice. Attendees meet the published speakers at book signings, visit the bustling corporate marketplace, and connect with the talented and successful women who attend this premier event.

Advancing Tomorrow's Leaders

Our proceeds help support Simmons graduate scholarships, advancing the development of tomorrow's corporate, organizational, and civic leaders.
