The 2026 Global Women in Law & Leadership Symposium & Honors Dinner was more than a conference—it was a celebration of leadership, connection, and possibility.
What began as a single event has grown into a multi-platform experience that now brings together leaders from across the legal profession and the globe through virtual programming, in-person networking, thought leadership discussions, and our annual gathering in the Delegates Dining Room at the United Nations.
From our virtual education series and the Funding the Future investment discussion, to our Afternoon Symposium and culminating Honors Dinner, this year’s programming fostered meaningful learning, authentic connections, and dynamic dialogue throughout the entire experience.
A heartfelt congratulations to our 2026 honorees -- your leadership, service, and commitment to creating opportunities for others continue to inspire us all.
