2026 She Shines Conference

She Still Matters! Recognizing Legacy. Advancing Equity. Investing in Women.

Saturday, November 7, 2026

The 7th Annual She Shines Conference is a transformative one-day experience designed to empower, educate, and inspire women to thrive in every season of life. Hosted by She Shines!, this signature gathering brings together women from diverse backgrounds, generations, professions, and faith communities for a day of meaningful conversations, practical resources, spiritual encouragement, and authentic connection.
The 2026 theme, “She Still Matters! Recognizing Legacy. Advancing Equity. Investing in Women,” affirms a powerful truth: every woman—regardless of her age, race, life experiences, health journey, economic status, or stage of life—has immeasurable value, purpose, and influence. As our nation commemorates the 250th anniversary of the United States, this year’s conference will also celebrate the enduring contributions of women—particularly women of color—whose leadership, resilience, faith, advocacy, and service have shaped families, communities, institutions, and our nation’s history.
Throughout the day, nationally recognized speakers, healthcare professionals, financial experts, civic leaders, entrepreneurs, educators, faith leaders, and community advocates will lead engaging keynote presentations, panel discussions, and interactive workshops centered around She Shines’ three core pillars:
• Health, Wellness & Safety
• Civic Engagement & Social Justice
• Spiritual Enrichment
Additional sessions will explore financial empowerment, entrepreneurship, technology and artificial intelligence, mental health, healthy relationships, aging with purpose, leadership, career development, advocacy, and personal growth—equipping women with practical strategies they can immediately apply to their everyday lives.
Attendees will also enjoy a vibrant Community Marketplace featuring nonprofit organizations, healthcare providers, government agencies, small businesses, wellness vendors, and resource partners offering valuable information, services, screenings, and products designed to support women’s overall well-being.
The conference concludes with Conversations, Connections & Celebration, an uplifting networking reception where attendees, speakers, sponsors, and community partners gather to build relationships, exchange ideas, celebrate accomplishments, and strengthen collaborations that extend far beyond conference day.
More than a conference, She Shines is a movement dedicated to creating spaces where women are seen, heard, valued, equipped, and encouraged to live boldly in their God-given purpose. Women leave renewed in spirit, enriched with knowledge, connected to valuable resources, and inspired to become catalysts for positive change within their families, workplaces, churches, businesses, and communities.
Together, we will recognize legacy, advance equity, invest in women, and declare with confidence that—She Still Matters.
