NextUp Twin Cities 2026 Half-Day Summit

About the event

The NextUp Twin Cities Summit will be our largest event of the year as we celebrate the incredible community we’re building and lean even further into our vision of being boldly inclusive. This half-day, development-focused experience will feature powerful programming and meaningful opportunities to connect — with yourself, with others, and with purpose.

Together, we’ll explore what it means to build stronger connections in every aspect of our careers and lives: connecting across generations through mentorship and shared experiences, connecting across differences to expand our networks and perspectives, and connecting through storytelling to build trust and open doors. We’ll also dive into connection in the workplace, connection in a digital world, and the importance of advocacy, sponsorship, and championing others.

Most importantly, this event is designed to help attendees strengthen their connection to their own value, confidence, and career goals while fostering lasting relationships across the Twin Cities community. Whether you are a woman or ally looking to grow your career, expand your community, or align your work with what drives you, this is the place to start — and you’ll leave with a network of supporters cheering you on.
