Be Her Summit 2026: Vision Meets Venture
Be Bold. Be Fearless. Be Her.
After an incredible reception last year, the Black Founders Network is bringing the Be Her Summit back, bigger, bolder, and more impactful than ever.
Clear your calendars for a full day. Join us on March 6th at the Schwartz Reisman Innovation Campus for a full day dedicated to Black women founders and investors. This year, we are extending our hours (10:00 AM - 4:30 PM) to provide deeper workshops, more meaningful connections, and tangible takeaways.
🗓️ The Run of Show: What to Expect
The Main Stage (Morning): We kick off the day hearing from incredible, powerhouse speakers sharing raw insights on navigating their careers, raising capital, and scaling.
The Luncheon & Connection: A dedicated block to eat, network with like-minded women, and meet your match through our newly launched Mentor/Mentee program.
The Afternoon Tracks (Activities & Workshops): Choose your own adventure based on what you need most:
The Wellness & Culture Track: Decompress and socialize with hands-on activities, including a Braiding & Detangling 101 session, spritzers, and custom bookmark making.
The Knowledge & Execution Track: Tactical, hands-on workshops focused on structuring an airtight business model and learning how to "vibe code" your own app.
