Exhibiting at a Women Lead Change Conference puts your brand in front of a highly engaged audience of leaders, decision-makers, and community champions. Our goal is to create a vibrant market experience filled with meaningful goods, services, and ideas making the exhibit hall a destination, not just a stop. As an exhibitor, you’ll have the opportunity to build authentic connections, showcase products attendees are excited to discover, and be part of an energetic environment that encourages conversation, curiosity, and support for businesses that lead with purpose.

Women Lead Change reserves the right to select exhibitors based on interest and content for our conference participants. An exhibitor is not guaranteed a spot at the conference until receiving confirmation from Women Lead Change.

Complete this form if you are interested in exhibiting. 

Women Lead Change is committed to bringing all leaders to our events, with an attendee makeup that reflects the communities in which the events are hosted. The Leadership Conference: 2026 Quad Cities takes place on November 12 at the Waterfront Convention.

Anyone is able to apply for the chance to attend the conference free of charge, regardless of background, industry or current employed state. This opportunity is intended to create a broader audience at Women Lead Change events in order to learn from each other. Diversity of thought fosters learning and insightful conversation. Special consideration may be given to applicants with ties to the Quad Cities area and surrounding communities.
