Los Angeles, CA

A national gathering of executive women and emerging leaders designed to spark connection, insight, and growth through dynamic programming, meaningful conversations, and high-impact opportunities across five focused leadership tracks, with optional curated experiences that extend the connection beyond the summit.

C-Sweet + Sony Pictures Entertainment

We’re honored to host this year’s Summit at the iconic Sony Pictures Studios Lot in Los Angeles, a place where imagination, innovation, and cultural influence have shaped stories for generations.

As C-Sweet brings together executive women and rising leaders from across the country, Sony Pictures Studios offers a fitting backdrop for conversations about leadership, creativity, technology, business transformation, and what it means to grow and thrive in a rapidly changing world. From the soundstages where stories are brought to life to the boardrooms where vision becomes strategy, this setting reflects the intersection of ideas, influence, and possibility.

This partnership speaks to the power of gathering women leaders in spaces built for bold thinking and meaningful connection. Together, we’re creating an experience rooted in access, inspiration, and community, while honoring the leaders who are shaping the next era of business, culture, and impact.
