🇫🇷 ISOUL Women Leadership Award Paris
Award Ceremony in Paris
Celebrating Visionary Women in Business & Leadership
The ISOUL Women Leadership Award is the highest recognition for women creating transformational change in business, innovation, and society. Founded in Silicon Valley, it celebrates women who unite vision, strategy, and measurable impact — and opens the gateway for them to step onto the world stage.
Selected by our Global Leadership Jury, we honor entrepreneurs, executives, innovators, experts, and investors across cities and countries women of bold influence, groundbreaking solutions, and the power of community.
After landmark ceremonies in San Francisco and Los Angeles, the award takes its most ambitious step yet to Paris, where vision, art, and ambition converge. Paris isn’t just a backdrop. It’s a declaration that women’s leadership belongs on the world stage, connecting France, the EU, and global hubs with ISOUL’s 29-country network.
Eight categories. A Global Leadership Jury of 32. One evening on October 3, 2026 — applications open through September 1.

✨ What to Expect at the Event
Step into an unforgettable evening of inspiration, elegance, and connection at the ISOUL Women Leadership Award Ceremony — a celebration of visionary women shaping the future of business, innovation, and leadership.
We didn’t want a ballroom. We wanted a room with history in its walls — Conservatoire Rachmaninoff, steps from the Seine. A living conservatory, not a museum. The ceremony unfolds in the Grande Salle: red velvet, crystal chandelier, two grand pianos, and a window that frames the Eiffel Tower. Up to 120 guests — close enough to see every face when a winner’s name is called.
Guests will enjoy light drinks and curated bites, surrounded by women whose influence transcends industries and borders.
The evening will feature:
A red-carpet award ceremony honoring extraordinary women in seven leadership categories.
Networking with global entrepreneurs, executives, and investorsdriving meaningful change.
Music, art, and inspiring storytelling that reflect the essence of feminine power and global vision.
More than an event, this is a movement — a night where purpose meets celebration, and every connection holds the potential to shape the next era of women’s leadership.
