In 2026, the NAWRB Women’s Leadership Summit steps into Survival of the Fittest, Part II: The Rise of Energy — because the world is shifting fast, and leadership today requires more than insight alone. It requires access to opportunities, trusted resources, strategic relationships, innovation, and the ability to navigate change with clarity and purpose. From energy, transportation, housing, capital, AI, health, and economic mobility to the human capacity required to lead through it all, this year’s summit is grounded in the NDILC Women’s Leadership Principles and designed to connect women to the ideas, people, and solutions that help them build, adapt, and rise in a rapidly shifting world.
