Influential Speakers at Inc. Women’s Summit

Posted on

Inc.’s annual Women’s Summit is here again, and this year’s lineup of powerful female speakers is nothing short of inspiring. From entrepreneurs to tech moguls, all of the women set to speak at this event have made their way to the top from the ground up, and will be on hand at the November 3 conference not only to motivate, but to answer questions, offer solutions, and help shape the next generation of influential female professionals.

Aside from hosting some of the most powerful women in business, the summit provides a host of other discussions and events to jumpstart and excite female entrepreneurs in their careers, such as networking luncheons, informational sessions, and an opportunity to meet keynote speakers.


Here are some of the most prominent presenters set to speak at the 2016 conference:

Barbara Corcoran
Most people know Barbara Corcoran from her appearances on ABC’s popular television show, Shark Tank, but Corcoran first made her start with a small real estate company based in New York City. After barely making it by in high school and college, Corcoran decided to quit her waitressing job to start The Corcoran Group, her fledgling real estate company which she eventually turned into a multi-million-dollar business. Aside from her time on television, Corcoran has also written several books about her business success and how inspiring entrepreneurs can achieve their own dreams.

Venus Williams
Turning pro at just 14, Venus Williams is highly regarded as one of the best professional female tennis players of all time. Williams has won seven Grand Slam Titles and has been ranked Number 1 by the Women’s Tennis Association three separate times. In addition to her tennis career, Williams is an entrepreneurial powerhouse. In 2001 Williams was already making waves, landing a spot on Ladies Home Journal’s Most Powerful Women list in 2001. She serves as CEO of her interior design company, V Starr. In 2007, Williams launched her fashion line, EleVen, and has since become part-owner of the Miami Dolphins with her sister, Serena.

Randi Zuckerberg
The sister of Facebook creator, Mark Zuckerberg, Randi made quite a name for herself even before Facebook’s founding. She formerly served as Facebook’s Director of Market Development after working as a panelist on Forbes on Fox. Nowadays, Zuckerberg serves as founder and CEO of Zuckerberg Media, and is the Editor-in-Chief of Dot Complicated, a lifestyle website.
