IMPACT is not just a thought leadership event — it’s an experience.

Attendees can expect:

• Powerful mainstage conversations with nationally recognized leaders
• Thought-provoking panels that challenge the status quo and spark action
• Inspiring storytelling that connects real lives to real impact
• Curated food experiences and chefs woven throughout the day
• Immersive activations, meaningful connection, and moments you’ll carry with you long after the event ends

Every detail is designed to energize, challenge, and connect. You’ll leave with new ideas, new connections, and a renewed sense of what’s possible. This is where conversations turn into momentum — and momentum turns into impact.

Workshops at GENERATION W offer a chance to go deeper. These interactive sessions are designed to spark ideas, build practical skills, and create meaningful conversations you can take back to your work and your life.

• Telling the Truth in a Post-Truth World with Anna Dougan, Senior Client Officer, IPSOS- In an era of information overload, conflicting narratives, and growing mistrust, this workshop explores how we can better navigate data, challenge our own confirmation biases, and engage thoughtfully with perspectives that differ from our own. Participants will learn how to critically assess information, ask better questions of data, and recognize how assumptions and echo chambers shape what we believe to be true. At the same time, the session invites a more hopeful insight: despite the noise, the vast majority of people around the world share common values and aspirations. By grounding truth in curiosity, inclusion, and critical thinking, this workshop creates space for more honest dialogue, deeper understanding, and connection in a complex world.

• Dance is Medicine: From Burnout to Alignment with Blakely Stein, Movement Dance Facilitator & Holistic Intuitive Coach- Dance is an ancestral way of moving, healing, and celebrating. In a fast-paced world that asks women to do more and hold everything together, it’s easy to lose touch with the body’s wisdom. This workshop invites participants to return to themselves through fluid, intuitive movement inspired by ecstatic dance and somatic practices. There is no choreography or performance—just a guided space for expression, presence, and release. Through music and simple prompts, participants will reconnect with their breath, regulate stress, and quiet the busy mind. Together, we explore how movement can reset the nervous system and reduce burnout, strengthen intuition and decision-making, bring us into the present moment—where lasting impact begins. The experience includes a gentle warm-up, stretching, breathwork, and a guided movement journey designed to help women leaders feel grounded, resilient, and renewed.

• The Impact of Digital Health & AI: Transforming the Future of Care with Jacey Fazio and Alexis Frazier, Mayo Clinic- Healthcare is undergoing a profound transformation—and digital innovation is at the center of it. In this forward-looking session, Alexis Jackson and Jacey Fazio, Mayo Clinic in Florida, will explore the real-world impact of digital health and artificial intelligence on patients, providers, and health systems. From predictive analytics and personalized medicine to virtual care and smarter clinical decision-making, AI is not just enhancing efficiency—it is reshaping outcomes, access in care delivery. This workshop will examine how technology is moving healthcare from reactive to proactive, from generalized to individualized, and from fragmented to connected. Participants will leave with a clearer understanding of how digital tools are redefining what’s possible in medicine—and how the impact of AI today is shaping the future of health for generations to come.

• Unlock Your 2026: From Overwhelmed to Unstoppable with Parul Patel, Managing Partner & CEO, Avesa Partners and IvyTek- You have 1,440 minutes today. So does everyone else. But the people who truly thrive aren’t doing more—they’re doing what matters most. This isn’t another goal-setting workshop where you walk away with a list you’ll never look at again. This is different. In 30 powerful minutes, you’ll cut through the noise of “new year, new you” and discover what’s actually holding you back from the impact you’re capable of making. Through a proven framework focused on impact over time, one over many, and mindset over hustle, you’ll get clarity on what truly moves the needle—for your career, your team, and yourself. No mountain to climb. No overwhelming lists. Just focused, achievable transformation. If you’re ready to stop resetting and start rising, this workshop is your starting line.

• Mindset is a Muscle: Your Impact Starts Within (Virtual & Interactive) with Sherry Levin- The way you think doesn’t just shape your life, it shapes the lives of everyone around you. This interactive workshop is built on the premise: when you strengthen your own mindset, the impact doesn’t stop with you. It ripples outward, like a pebble in the water, into your relationships, your community, and the world you have the power to influence. Through authentic storytelling, guided exercises, and impactful peer reflection, you’ll get tools to build a positive, more resilient mindset to help you face your own challenges with confidence, and show up as a force for impact in every space you occupy.

IMPACT would not be possible without the energy, heart, and leadership of our volunteers.

Volunteers play a hands-on role in bringing the experience to life — from welcoming attendees and supporting speakers to helping with activations, wayfinding, and on-site logistics. It’s an opportunity to be part of something bigger, connect with the Generation W community, and experience IMPACT from the inside.
