blazing trails: MT women in business summit
WEDNESDAY - FRIDAY, MARCH 4-6, 2026
BOZEMAN, MT
The 3rd Annual Montana Women in Business Summit is coming March 4-6, 2026! After two years of sold-out success and soaring momentum, this premier event for women in business continues to ignite inspiration, connection, and real-world impact. With expanded programming, dynamic keynote speakers, innovative workshops, and unmatched networking opportunities, the 2026 Summit promises to be an unforgettable experience for leaders, entrepreneurs, change-makers, and advocates across Montana and beyond.
We’ll once again honor International Women’s Day (Sunday, March 8). Registration includes two-and-a-half days where we’ll dive deep into leadership development, financial empowerment, entrepreneurship, civic engagement, advocacy, philanthropy, and more. Connect with trailblazers, industry leaders, and policymakers who are shaping the future of Montana.
