She Speaks CEO Returns to Austin, Texas for SXSW Week 2026 With a New Vision for Women in Power Networking
She Speaks CEO is heading back to Austin for SXSW Week 2026, and this year, the approach is different.
With bigger intention. Sharper focus. And a clear point of view on what women who lead, build, invest, and influence are actually looking for from SXSW Week experiences.
After a strong showing in 2025, She Speaks CEO returns for year two, refining its vision for what women in leadership want from networking during SXSW Week events. Not surface-level connections. Not crowded rooms. And certainly not business card roulette.
What’s become increasingly clear is that women at this level are seeking access, alignment, and opportunity; and rooms that are designed with those outcomes in mind.
A New Standard for Women in Power at SXSW Week 2026
SXSW has long been a global magnet for innovation, creativity, culture, and ideas. For women founders, CEOs, executives, and investors, however, the challenge has always been identifying the right rooms during SXSW Week. The ones that translate inspiration into real momentum.
That’s where She Speaks CEO @ SXSW Week: Powerhouse Women Unite enters the conversation.
This intentionally curated gathering reflects a new approach to women in power networking. One that prioritizes who is in the room, what they are building, and how meaningful connections are formed. The focus is not on volume, but on alignment.
The reality for women in leadership is that outcomes matter more than optics.
Where Powerful Women Visiting Austin Connect During SXSW Week
She Speaks CEO’s Powerhouse Women Unite is designed for women who want to walk into a room of aligned peers. Women who are scaling companies, leading teams, investing in innovation, closing deals, and expanding both their network and their net worth.
During SXSW Week 2026, She Speaks CEO brings together women founders and entrepreneurs, CEOs and senior executives, investors and capital decision-makers, and leaders shaping business, innovation, media, and culture.
Rather than an open networking event, this is a curated experience built for women who understand the value of proximity, access, and alignment.
More Than Networking. Strategic Access.
What sets She Speaks CEO apart during SXSW Week is the intention behind the room.
Each She Speaks CEO gathering is designed to support strategic relationships (rather than small talk), visibility with purpose, deal-flow conversations, and peer connection at the leadership level. These rooms are also built to create pathways to partnerships, speaking opportunities, sponsorships, and long-term collaboration.
This is where conversations lead to connections.And connections lead to action.
She Speaks CEO x SXSW WEEK. Back for Year Two.
With its return to SXSW Week 2026, Priscilla Nakane, Founder of She Speaks CEO, continues to strengthen the organization’s role as a women in leadership organization creating intentional rooms that matter. Across each experience, She Speaks CEO consistently builds access and visibility for attendees and partners alike.
From CES Week to SXSW Week and beyond, She Speaks CEO is establishing a national presence alongside major global moments, reinforcing the idea that women in leadership don’t simply attend these events they help shape them, and deserve spaces curated just for them.
