When we started Innovation Women, the mission was to provide equal visibility opportunities for women, supporting career development, business success, and thought leadership and expert status. We originally focused on entrepreneurial and technical women…hence the name. Since that time, we expanded the mission. Now we support more than 190 different industries…and other underrepresented voices. You will find women, men (especially male allies supporting our initial mission), nonbinary individuals, people of color, people with disabilities, and more.

We’re also here to help event managers avoid the all-male, all-pale and all-stale panels we see so often at industry conferences and events. We need more diversity onstage. We need to be more inclusive.

Since 2015, we have consistently grown and placed thousands of speakers, presenters, workshop leaders, emcees, and facilitators  on stages across the world.  We have also helped hundreds of event managers successfully build diverse panels and events.  We connect our members with visibility opportunities and help them move forward in their businesses or careers. We also want to ensure that our platform reflects the breadth and depth of our world so events can showcase that diversity and inspire future generations.
