Summary
Embark on a transformative journey at our second Athena Summit in San Francisco — unlike any before it. This full-day experience on December 10, 2025, will be hosted at the Silicon Valley Bank Experience Center.
This immersive day will bring together the brightest women leaders, visionaries, and changemakers to reimagine leadership, career journeys, and the future of work.
From the moment you arrive, you’ll step into a curated journey designed to expand your thinking, grow your network, and help you shape your Portfolio of Impact™.
- Athena’s Wisdom Stage: Engage with inspiring keynote presentations and panels featuring thought leaders who will challenge your perspectives on leadership, purpose, and the evolving “why” of work.
- Immersive Interactives: Dive into intimate workshops and discussions in smaller breakout spaces like The Speak Easy and The Wise Owl Vault, where you’ll re-envision your career trajectory and explore the power of transitions.
- The Weak Ties Challenge: Build meaningful new connections through structured conversations designed to spark collaboration and opportunity.
- Networking and Connection: Share space with executives, board directors, innovators, and fellow Athena members — women who are actively shaping the future.
This Athena Summit is more than an event; it’s a catalyst—a full-day immersive experience designed to challenge your thinking and expand your perspective. You’ll leave with fresh insights, meaningful connections, and practical frameworks to navigate your leadership journey with impact.
Goodwin's Mary O'Carroll to be speaking on the “AI as a Teammate” panel, and Mitzi Chang will be speaking on "Trends in Governance."
