The Banner’s InnovateHER will convene bold, forward thinking women for thoughtful conversations about leadership, cultural influence, and the realities of ambition today. Through candid interviews and onstage conversations, attendees will hear personal stories about the paths these women have taken, including the pivots, setbacks, risks, and decisions that shaped their careers. The focus is not just on success, but on how they got there.

Throughout the evening, guests will enjoy canapés, wine, and cocktails while building meaningful connections and exchanging ideas. InnovateHER will create space for honest dialogue and shared experience, where stories are told without filters, lessons are drawn from real challenges, and attendees leave feeling energized and inspired for what comes next.
