International Women’s Day Speed Networking 2026
March 28th, 2026 10:00AM -2:00PM
The 14th annual International Women’s Day Speed Mentoring event is upon us! The Young Professional International Network is excited to invite the Pacific Northwest’s top women leaders and young professionals for a day of networking and mentorship. We’re thrilled to announce Expedia WELL (Women at Expedia Group Learning and Leading) is sponsoring this year’s event!
The event will begin with a thoughtful discussion from this year’s keynote panel, followed by a group Q&A session. Afterwards, mentees will have a chance to rotate through 20-minute 1:1 mentorship sessions with female leaders working in the Seattle-metro area.
Coffee, light breakfast, and lunch will be provided.
This event is perfect for early-career women seeking to enhance their leadership potential, mid-career professionals looking to make a career change, or folks hoping to accelerate their current trajectory. Attendees will gain industry insights, learn about new organizations, and build a network of exceptional women.
2026 mentors bring experience across sectors and from industries including business and nonprofit development, sustainability and energy, community impact, marketing, recruitment, executive coaching, public health and healthcare, international development, technology and AI, policy, and others. Before the event, we will follow up with registered participants with a form to collect your mentor preferences. Note: Event registration will close at 11:59pm on March 25th to allow for mentor-mentee matching.
