A statewide gathering focused on advancing women’s wealth-building, economic mobility, and small business growth.
The
California Women’s Economic Summit
is a high-impact, statewide convening hosted by the California Women’s Business Centers Network (CA WBC). This one-day summit brings together women entrepreneurs, small business support organizations, policymakers, funders, educators, and corporate leaders to spotlight how women-owned and women-led businesses are central to California’s economic future.

Elevating the role of women-owned and women-led enterprises in California’s economic resilience
Advancing policy and funding solutions in: Childcare business expansion; Rural entrepreneurship; Workforce-aligned business development; and Immigrant-owned business continuity
Strengthening collaboration among the small business ecosystem
Actionable tools, capital pathways, and scalable strategies for women entrepreneurs
Practical strategies for scaling women-led businesses
