For the first time, the Women's Leadership Summit (WLS) – the largest event for women architects and designers in the country–will be held in Silicon Valley, the global center for technology and innovation. 

Known for its spirit of collaboration, the region is the ideal background for a continually evolving, forward-looking event. Hosted by The American Institute of Architects, WLS 2022 will bring diverse leaders together, with a focus on: firm leadership, advancing business knowledge, targeted networking, proactive career management, and personal empowerment. 

The first WLS began as a grassroots effort to bring together women principals of architecture firms, women in leadership positions, and women architects moving into leadership roles across the country for an inspiring two-day Summit focusing on leadership and design. Today, the Summit spans a diverse spread of career stages and seeks to support all women in the profession.
