WISE Summit is our annual, university-wide conference aimed at providing Northeastern students and the greater Boston community an opportunity to connect with a diverse collective of people in entrepreneurship, learn and collaborate with industry professionals, and explore the various channels within entrepreneurship. All are encouraged to attend Summit regardless of gender identity, college, major, year, or experience level.
In 2026, WISE Summit will focus on the premise that we are Good to Grow. We don’t need permission — we need access, conviction, and drive. We already hold the creativity, resourcefulness, and learn‑by‑doing aptitude needed to bring ideas to life from any role, whether on stage, behind the scenes, or anywhere in between. What’s missing isn’t capability, it’s advocacy, sharp feedback, and capital, paired with space to iterate and the courage to start before everything feels “ready”. By surfacing the knowledge you already have, WISE Summit aims to translate your strengths into action and direction, giving you the confidence and cadence to go and grow.
We are so grateful for the support of our individual, corporate, and collegiate partners who are committed to helping WISE build an empowered and inclusive community in entrepreneurship and leadership roles. Our sponsors are integral to the making of WISE Summit, and we cannot thank them enough for their generosity and contributions.
WISE uses an inclusive definition of “women” and “female”, and we welcome transwomen, genderqueer women, and non-binary people who identify, have identified, or have been identified as female or women.
