Ragan Announces 2026 Leadership Summit & Retreat for Women
Annual event for senior women leaders returns to Paradise Valley, Arizona, Sept. 23–25
Chicago, IL (March 18, 2026) — Ragan Communications today announced that its 2026 Leadership Summit & Retreat for Women will take place Sept. 23–25, 2026, at the Sanctuary Camelback Mountain Resort & Spa in Paradise Valley, Arizona.
The annual event brings together senior leaders and rising executives in communications, marketing and HR for an immersive experience focused on leadership development, meaningful connection and personal renewal. Designed as an intimate retreat, the program combines leadership sessions, peer discussions, networking and wellness experiences in a setting that encourages both strategic thinking and reflection.
The Summit consistently sells out and has drawn senior leaders from organizations including Amazon, AARP, American Red Cross, Baker Hughes, CBRE, Chick-fil-A, Columbia University, Dawn Foods, Edward Jones, Gagen MacDonald, Getty, Hain Celestial Group, Hearst Magazines, ING Americas, KeyBank, Microsoft, MWW, Nemours Children’s Health, Paramount Global, PwC, UCLA Health, and the U.S. Census Bureau.
Past attendees say the retreat leaves them inspired and reenergized. “I left Ragan’s Women’s Leadership and Wellness Retreat and Summit feeling both recharged and reenergized,” said a past attendee, President & Chief Strategy Officer at Kaplow Communications. “Hearing from some of the most dynamic and motivating speakers while getting the uniquely intimate opportunity to interact with such inspiring peers made this a must-attend event. When coupled with the chance to also relax and reset, it was even better. I’m already looking forward to the next one!”
In addition to the in-person experience, participants gain access to Ragan’s Women’s Circle, an exclusive peer community for senior women in communications, marketing and HR. The Women’s Circle extends the retreat’s impact year-round through ongoing conversations, networking opportunities and peer connections designed to support women leaders as they navigate their careers.
Attendance at the Leadership Summit & Retreat for Women is intentionally limited to maintain its collaborative, high-touch experience.
