At GWI’s 6th Annual Greenwich Signature Event, we celebrate the women blazing new trails — and the next generation rising to follow.

This premier evening brings together leaders, innovators, and changemakers shaping the future of business, culture, and opportunity, all while supporting business and leadership education for young women.

Our keynote conversation with Maureen Polo, CEO of Hello Sunshine, will explore lessons from her trailblazing career in entertainment and media; strategies for driving purpose-driven growth and representation; and what’s ahead for storytelling, women’s empowerment, and cultural impact.

Together, we’ll honor the women redefining what’s possible — and fuel the futures of the young women ready to lead next.
