## Why it matters

AICPA and CIMA have run the Women's Global Leadership Summit every November since 2012, most recently moving from Bellevue, Washington to San Diego for 2026. Unlike leadership tracks folded into general CPA conferences, this summit is built entirely around advancing women into partner and C-suite roles, pairing executive-presence coaching with a peer network spanning firms and industries. Attendees earn up to 15 CPE hours while building those relationships.

## Who attends

Women CPAs and finance leaders from firm partners and C-suite executives to rising managers, across public accounting, industry and government.

## Programme

- Leadership
- Executive presence
