About the Symposium
On October 8, 2026, the 100 Women in Finance Impact Investing Symposium brought together investment professionals and industry leaders at Gibson Dunn in New York City for an afternoon of insightful discussions, fresh perspectives and meaningful connections.
Building on a legacy that began with High Water Women in 2013, the Symposium continues to provide a forum for leaders to explore opportunities, exchange ideas and advance conversations around impact and sustainable investing.
This year’s program featured leadership conversations, expert panels and signature Table Topics, exploring how capital can drive innovation, strengthen resilience and create lasting impact.
