Day Four. 🤍
And just like that, WEW 2026 came to a close.
The final day was filled with the kind of moments that remind us why this week matters so much. Honest conversations. New friendships. Shared ideas scribbled on whiteboards. Women cheering each other on in real time. Big dreams being spoken out loud. Quiet moments of reflection.
This week was never just about entrepreneurship. It was about community. About creating space for women to show up exactly as they are, take up room, ask questions, share wisdom, and leave feeling a little more empowered than when they walked in.
Watching hundreds of women gather throughout the week to learn, connect, collaborate, and truly see one another was something special.
Thank you to every attendee, speaker, volunteer, sponsor, vendor, and supporter who made Women’s Entrepreneurship Week 2026 what it was.
“Go Your Own Way” came to life in the best possible way this week, and we are so grateful you were part of it. ✨
Day one and already so many conversations that reminded us why spaces like this matter 🤍
Women’s Entrepreneurship Week is never just about sitting in a room and listening to speakers. It’s about the connections made between sessions, the ideas scribbled into notebooks, the stories shared out loud, and the reminder that there is no one “right” way to build something meaningful.
From creative workshops to honest conversations and powerhouse panels, today was filled with women showing up as themselves and cheering each other on while doing it.
And this is only the beginning ✨

@shestandstallmke Women’s Entrepreneurship Week started today! I hosted a session, Financially Fearless, with @mcmurtrycheryl , and attended The Pause for a watercolor exercise with Kelcey from @cloud9workshop . Looking forward to other sessions this week too!
Introducing: The Pause
Because sometimes the most productive thing you can do is slow down.
This year at Women’s Entrepreneurship Week, we are creating intentional space for you to step away from the noise, reconnect with yourself, and simply be.
✨ The Pause is a new experience woven into WEW
✨ Designed for rest, creativity, and nervous system support
✨ Free to attend, but RSVP is required
Join us in Room 7230 for two opportunities to reset:
🎨 Color-Play Watercolors
🕐 1:00 – 2:15 PM with Kelcey Kalumbula
Relax and let your creativity flow as you explore watercolor painting, color mixing, and self-expression in a welcoming, no-pressure environment.
🧘♀️ Chair Yoga + Sound Meditation
🕝 2:30 – 3:45 PM with Parisa Shirazi Chavoya
A beginner-friendly, accessible practice featuring gentle movement, breathwork, and sound meditation to help you release tension and regulate your nervous system.
No experience needed. No pressure. No expectations.
Just space to breathe, create, and reconnect.
