A Gathering for the Women Who Never Stopped Showing Up.
October 25–27, 2026
Denton, Texas · Dallas–Fort Worth
For women turning lived experience into leadership, advocacy, and lasting change.
You Didn’t Step Away.
You stayed in the work.
You kept advocating.
Kept building.
Kept showing up.
This October, we gather the women who are still here - and still helping shape what comes next.
Is This Gathering For You?
This gathering was created for women whose lives were changed by pregnancy, birth, postpartum complications, infant loss, or maternal health trauma.
Women who have carried grief.
Women who have carried responsibility.
Women who have found themselves asking:
"How do I use what happened to me to help someone else?"
Whether you're just beginning to share your story or you've spent years advocating for change, you'll find community, learning, and support here.
You do not need a title.
You do not need advocacy experience.
You only need a willingness to show up as yourself.
What This Gathering Will Hold
Strengthening Conversations
Honest conversations about leadership, advocacy, and the emotional realities of carrying lived experience into systems change. Space to speak openly, learn from one another, and explore what sustainable advocacy looks like.
Leadership Development
Practical tools, guidance, and perspective to strengthen your voice, clarify your role, and grow your confidence as a lived-experience leader.
Advocacy Strategy
Sessions designed to help you move from passion to action, translating personal experience into meaningful influence within healthcare systems, organizations, and communities.
Intentional Connection
Time with women who understand the complexity of carrying both pain and purpose. Conversations that don't require explanation. Relationships that often continue long after the Summit ends.
Serious work. Genuine connection. Space to exhale.
What You'll Experience
Throughout the Summit, you'll move between structured learning, facilitated discussion, reflection, and meaningful connection.
You can expect:
• Leadership and advocacy workshops
• Guided conversations with women who understand this journey
• Practical tools for sharing your story safely and effectively
• Opportunities to strengthen relationships across the maternal health community
• Dedicated time for reflection, learning, and growth
• Space to connect with purpose — without pressure
Every element of the Summit is intentionally designed to support both personal growth and collective impact.
Partner With Us
Summit 2026 is an intentional gathering of women who are actively shaping maternal health systems in hospitals, policy spaces, and quality improvement efforts across the country — part of a growing national network rooted in lived experience leadership.
These are leaders with lived experience who continue to influence how care is delivered, how systems respond, and how outcomes improve.
Partner participation is structured to protect the integrity of the Summit while supporting the real, ongoing work of strengthening maternal health outcomes.
Attendance is intentionally limited to preserve the depth of connection, learning, and collaboration that defines the Summit experience.
Organizations committed to advancing safer, more responsive maternal health systems are invited to express interest. We will share the Summit 2026 sponsor overview directly.
