Women of Impact 2026, hosted by Women of Cisco Americas

Women of Impact is hosted by Women of Cisco Americas, a Cisco employee inclusive community. Women of Impact is Women of Cisco's annual flagship event designed to empower, encourage, educate, and embrace the unique journeys, intersectionality, and stories of women across the globe. This event is open to all. Our mission for 2026 is to ignite the potential within our community by fostering an environment where every person can excel. This year’s theme, Spark the Future, Together we Thrive, centers on the belief that our collective success is driven by supportive relationships and a commitment to future-ready skills. We continue our core foundational mission to attract, develop, retain, and celebrate talented women and their allies as a vital part of Cisco’s competitive and diverse workforce.

By focusing on the power of mentorship, the strategic advantage of sponsorship, and the integration of cutting-edge technology like AI, we are aligning our efforts with Cisco’s business growth priorities. We aim to support our community holistically—equipping people with the tools to navigate their careers with courage, achieve financial empowerment, and lead with impact in an evolving digital landscape.

This event is a premier opportunity to connect with the global Cisco community, celebrate our unique journeys, and spark the innovations that will power an inclusive future for all.
