Over 4 days, we will explore how to
Lead Your Life with Authenticity and Healthy Boundaries
Manage Your Health, Wealth & Wellness Even When Overwhelmed
Find Your Voice and Signature Leadership Style
Find Genuine Connection with Women Who Really Get It and Get You
Most women’s conferences leave you feeling like you should be more—more polished, more accomplished, more on top of everything.
Not this one.
The Ivy League Sisters Summit is where high-achieving women come to drop the facade, tell the truth, and lead in a way that actually feels right.
We’re tearing down the old models of leadership—the ones that demand perfection, endless hustle, and self-sacrifice—and replacing them with something real.
At this Summit, practical, tactical tools meet deep, unfiltered conversations.
Because leadership isn’t just about what you do—it’s about who you are.
Check out the timeline below to see the topics we’ll cover each day.
