She Sharp & academyEX: International Women's Day 2026
Celebrating women. Inspiring action. Driving equity.
About This Event
She Sharp is partnering again with academyEX for International Women's Day 2026, creating space for our community to connect, reflect, and take meaningful action toward gender equality.
This year's IWD theme, Give To Gain, is a reminder that progress grows through community. When we give our time, support, knowledge, and encouragement, we help open doors for women and girls — and everyone benefits.
Join us for a welcoming evening focused on honest conversations, shared experiences, and building connections. This event is about showing up for one another and taking small but meaningful steps together.
