SHE-EO LEADERSHIP BOOTCAMP 2026
Why SHE-EO?
The SHE-EO Leadership Bootcamp is a premier global leadership and empowerment experience designed exclusively for female founders, corporate leaders, and emerging executives who are ready to rise to their highest potential.
In a world where women continue to face limited access to funding, leadership opportunities, and decision-making platforms, SHE-EO exists to rewrite the narrative. This Bootcamp empowers women to:
- Claim positions of influence in business and leadership
- Build high-impact global networks
- Access world-class training and mentorship
- Strengthen their voice, visibility, and leadership influence
- Expand into global markets through strategic connections
In collaboration with UN Women, SHE-EO champions the advancement of women's economic empowerment and gender equality, ensuring every woman who joins walks away with practical tools, global exposure, and transformative leadership experiences. This is not just an event. It is an immersion into becoming the woman your business, family, and community need you to be.
What's Our Focus?
SHE-EO is more than a conference. It is a leadership reset for women who are serious about building influence, wealth, and global networks. Women are still underfunded, under-represented in decision-making rooms, and often over-mentored but under-sponsored. SHE-EO exists to change that narrative.
At the SHE-EO Leadership Bootcamp, we focus on:
- Real leadership growth. Not just motivation, but tools, frameworks, and strategies you can implement.
- Global exposure. Connect with women from multiple countries, sectors, and levels of leadership.
- Access to opportunities. Networks that open doors to funding, partnerships, collaborations, and market expansion.
- A safe, ambitious space. A room where women are allowed to dream big, speak boldly, and be taken seriously.
SHE-EO is designed for the woman who knows that she is not "just in business" — she is building an empire.
Why We Host the 50 Under 50 Awards
The 50 Under 50 Awards exist to celebrate the brilliance, resilience, and achievements of women who are transforming industries, leading powerful organizations, and building solutions that impact communities globally.
We created these awards to:
- Bring visibility to women who rarely get celebrated
- Inspire the next generation of female leaders
- Build global connections among high-achieving women
- Promote leadership, innovation, and economic empowerment
- Amplify women's stories on international platforms
These awards honour leadership that is bold, transformative, and impactful.
Awards for 2026
The 50 Under 50 Awards recognize 50 outstanding women under the age of 50 who are making a measurable difference in:
- Business & entrepreneurship
- Innovation & technology
- Social impact & community development
- Leadership in corporate, public, or non-profit spaces
We host these awards because:
Too many women are doing great work without visibility. Recognition builds credibility, confidence and opportunity. Celebrating women at different stages of success inspires others to rise. When one woman is seen, many more believe it is possible for them too.
These awards are not just a trophy moment. They are a platform for storytelling, positioning, and global recognition.
Applications for the 2026 50 Under 50 Awards are now open.
