WOMEN LEAD Florence Women's Retreat:
Global Perspectives on Women in Leadership

Building on the success of previous gatherings, the Gonzaga University Women Lead Florence Conference is a distinctive leadership retreat designed for women seeking global perspectives and professional growth. Set in the historic and culturally rich city of Florence, Italy, the conference offers an immersive environment for reflection, learning and connection.

Participants engage with distinguished speakers, participate in hands-on workshops and enjoy curated excursions that highlight the region’s vibrant history and artistic legacy. The conference fosters meaningful dialogue and connection among professional women from the Spokane community and beyond.

Attendees explore contemporary leadership themes, exchange insights and leave with renewed inspiration and practical tools for personal and professional impact. While registration for the 2026 conference is not yet open, those interested are encouraged to revisit this page for updates.

Gonzaga University looks forward to offering this transformative experience to leaders committed to shaping a more just and inspired world.
