AnchorHer Summit

​AnchorHer Summit 2026 is a free community event bringing together educators, parents, students, speakers, and community-minded people for real conversations about education, youth wellbeing, parenting, and the future of young people.

​The event explores how we can better support young people in a changing world shaped by AI, vocational transformation, new career paths, and shifting family and school relationships.

​Through inspiring talks, keynotes, open discussion, and networking, AnchorHer creates a welcoming space to listen, share ideas, connect with others, and be part of a meaningful conversation from the very beginning.

​Everyone interested in education, youth, community support, or future opportunities is warmly welcome.
