We’re one month away! Women in Retail Leadership Circle is taking its signature leadership programming on the road, with upcoming On the Road events scheduled for Chicago on Oct. 6 and Boston on Oct. 8.

Like the Women in Retail Leadership Summit, WIRLC: On the Road events bring senior-level women leaders in retail together for candid conversations, inspiring stories, practical strategies and meaningful connections. Each event features C-suite executives and trailblazing retail leaders, thought-provoking panels, and interactive networking designed to help attendees tackle the challenges that matter most.

Chicago | Oct. 6

Join us at Le Méridien Chicago – Oakbrook Center for an afternoon focused on leadership, growth and the decisions that drive impact. Attendees will hear from leaders including:

  • Stephanie Pugliese, President and CEO, Duluth Trading Co.
  • Roxanne Weng, Chief Supply Chain Officer, Dollar Tree
  • Kim Lefko, Senior Vice President and Chief Marketing Officer, Ace Hardware
  • Monica Nassif, Founder, Mrs. Meyer’s Clean Day

Conversations will explore how today’s leaders are cutting through competing priorities, identifying opportunities for growth, building brands that break through, and leading through change and uncertainty. Attendees will leave with fresh ideas for identifying growth opportunities, practical approaches to prioritization, and real-world leadership lessons they can apply to their teams and businesses.

Boston | Oct. 8

Join us at the Hilton Boston Park Plaza for an afternoon focused on resilience, reinvention, customer growth and leading with impact. Hear from leaders such as:

  • Reba Hatcher, Chief Commercial Officer, ButcherBox
  • Connie Hallquist, President, Garnet Hill

The conversations at the Boston event will include how leaders can navigate uncertainty, decide what to preserve and what to change, win the next generation of customers, and prioritize investments for maximum impact. Attendees will gain practical ideas for building resilient teams, new approaches to winning and retaining customers, and frameworks for making smarter decisions about where to focus and invest.
