The first annual Elevate Women’s Summit will be held from 8 a.m. to 6 p.m. on Thursday April 18th at Arbor Midtown.
Organizers say the event is focused on inspiration, networking and community building, while redefining the future of women in business.
The day-long summit features keynotes from prominent women leaders, workshops, panel discussions led by industry experts and networking opportunities.
Speakers, attendees and sponsors are from Rochester, Buffalo, Syracuse, Ithaca and New York City.
The inspiration behind Elevate grew out of the Women’s Venture Summit, hosted by the Stella Network in San Diego in the fall of 2023.
At the event, the coordinator, Flossie Hall, keynote Latia Vaughan, speaker Natalie Sinisgalli-Kettavong, Nina Piccini and Lori Sussle Bonanni discovered their shared roots in Rochester and a shared desire to bring such programming to the area.
