This year’s Summit is presented by KnitWell Group, the multi-brand retail company behind iconic women’s brands Ann Taylor, Chico’s, Haven Well Within, Lane Bryant, LOFT, Soma, Talbots, and White House Black Market.

Through bold conversations and shared experiences across industries and generations, the summit brings together leaders who are actively shaping change in their fields and communities. By connecting, collaborating, and creating lasting change, Delivering Good will highlight the power of opportunity, community, and discovering our individual paths to impact.

The 2026 Women of Impact Summit will feature eight dynamic panel discussions bringing together influential women across industries including retail, finance, innovation, marketing, media, career development, and leadership. Each session is designed to elevate dialogue, share lived experience, and highlight actionable insights for the next generation of women leaders.

The summit will open with an Intergenerational Conversation: Mothers and Daughters, exploring leadership, legacy, and ambition across generations. Additional panels will offer insights on building careers, explore how bold ideas and values-driven leadership are transforming industries, discuss personal branding and social influence for impact, and more. The summit will conclude with a CEO Panel with Live Audience Q&A, featuring female leaders from Supergoop!, Eurazeo Brands, Lafayette 148 New York, and Guild Brands.

For the first time, the Women of Impact Summit will introduce a series of honors recognizing women making extraordinary contributions across their industries, including the inaugural Women of the Year Award, presented to Andrea Weiss, Founder and CEO of The O Alliance and Board Chair of Delivering Good. During her time with Delivering Good, Weiss has helped guide the organization through a period of strategic growth and transformation, strengthening its mission and expanding impact.
