Lead with Her 2026: Leadership in an Interconnected World
As geopolitical complexity and AI-driven transformation reshape the global landscape, leadership today requires the ability to lead across boundaries — of geography, culture, generation, and systems.
Lead with Her 2026 convenes global CEOs and senior executives to move beyond dialogue toward strategic impact, examining how collective intelligence, influence, and creativity are being redefined in an increasingly complex world.
Key Themes

Leading Across Boundaries
Leading across boundaries means integrating intergenerational wisdom with emerging perspectives to navigate global complexity and interdependence. It is about creating coherence across cultures, systems, and expectations to drive resilient, future-ready leadership.

Humanity and Creativity by Design
Explore how human-centered design, creativity, and imagination shape responsible innovation. Learn how leaders can ensure technology—including AI—amplifies human values, strengthens purpose, and delivers long-term societal value.

Leadership Impact Multiplied
Multiplying leadership impact involves expanding influence through connection, collaboration, and purposeful innovation in an interconnected world. It focuses on how leaders amplify positive impact across organizations and society by shaping mindsets, ways of working, and partnerships across boundaries.
