D CEO Presents

Women’s Leadership Symposium 2025

Next Begins Now

Join us on June 17, 2025 for D CEO’s tenth-annual Women’s Leadership Symposium.

D CEO’s Women’s Leadership Symposium 2025: Next Begins Now will be an inspiring half-day event designed to empower women to lead the future with confidence, innovation, and resilience. In a rapidly evolving world, this year’s theme focuses on what comes next for women in leadership—embracing technology, paving new paths, and equipping ourselves with the skills and networks needed to thrive.

The theme Next Begins Now addresses the urgency and opportunity of the moment. It’s a call for women to lead boldly into the future by leveraging mentorship, embracing AI and tech advancements, and navigating the complexities of today’s (and tomorrow’s) workplace. This symposium will provide actionable insights into how women can advance in a world of uncertainty while driving progress for themselves and future generations.

Join us for a day of dynamic speakers, thought-provoking discussions, and unparalleled networking with some of the most influential women leaders in North Texas. Next Begins Now is not just about what the future holds—it’s about shaping it, starting today.
