ABOUT THE SUMMIT
The G100 Leadership Summit 2026 is a global meeting point for women leaders, changemakers and allies who believe that meaningful leadership begins with connection and grows through collective impact.
Under the theme “Power, Influence, Impact: Women Driving Change!”, the Summit brings together inspiring voices from across countries, sectors and generations for three days of dialogue, learning, collaboration and purposeful networking.
More than an event, it is a space to strengthen leadership, build meaningful relationships, create new opportunities and turn influence into action.
Because real empowerment goes beyond individual success. It is about empowering others, opening doors, building bridges and creating the conditions for women to advance together.
Connect. Inspire. Influence. Lead. Create impact.
A Shared Commitment
The G100 Leadership Summit is a non-profit event built on a principle of shared commitment. Its essential costs are collectively supported by everyone who takes part, including both speakers and delegates. Accordingly, all participants are required to pay the applicable registration fee. Confirmed speakers and contributors benefit from a preferential rate, as published below. By participating, every member of the Summit community contributes not only to the event itself, but also to its wider mission and impact. This model enables the Summit to remain independent, sustainable and focused on its mission of advancing women’s leadership and gender parity.

VENUE & LOCATION
A Coastal Sanctuary for Leadership
We are delighted to welcome you to the Hotel do Mar for the G100 Leadership Summit. Nestled into the cliffside of the charming fishing village of Sesimbra, this iconic architectural landmark offers an unparalleled setting for high-level dialogue and strategic reflection.
Designed to harmonise with the surrounding landscape, the hotel provides breathtaking, panoramic views of the Atlantic Ocean from every vantage point. Its unique tiered structure ensures that the sea remains a constant companion throughout our sessions, creating an atmosphere of serenity and inspiration.
Just a short drive from Lisbon, Sesimbra offers the perfect balance of accessible convenience and coastal seclusion. Between summit sessions, delegates can enjoy the refreshing sea breeze, explore the historic beachfront, or simply take in the horizon from the hotel’s expansive terraces.
