The 2026 Women’s Leadership Summit will take place on Thursday, July 23, at Infinite Campus in Blaine, Minnesota. Centered on the power of connection, this one‑of‑a‑kind event brings together leaders, innovators, and community builders for an energizing morning before PGA TOUR professionals begin Round 1 of the tournament.
