WISE Summit is our annual, university-wide conference aimed at providing Northeastern students and the greater Boston community an opportunity to connect with a diverse collective of female and non-binary founders and entrepreneurs, learn and collaborate with industry professionals, and explore the various channels within entrepreneurship. All are encouraged to attend Summit regardless of gender identity, college, major, year, or experience level.
Our WISE Summit is an annual women’s entrepreneurship conference open to all disciplines and backgrounds. For our 4th Summit in 2024, we impacted 250+ attendees in several ways through the event. The super Saturday conference included 3 powerful keynote speakers: Lisa Sun, CEO and Founder of GRAVITAS, Yasmin Cruz Ferrine, General Partner at Visible Hands, and Irene Shiang Li, Co-Founder of Mei Mei Restaurant Group. Additionally, we held 8 highly engaging workshops, 2 lighting talks featuring Roxanne Cosnard de les Closets from Glossier and Kati Fernandez from ESPN, and 1 panel discussion. There were 10+ marketplace vendors including local and student-led businesses. Our Summit was supported by corporate sponsors and speakers from institutions like Bank of America, the Better Business Bureau, Google, Silicon Valley Bank, and more.
When Charlotte Pick attended her first Women's Interdisciplinary Society of Entrepreneurship event at Northeastern University as a freshman, she didn’t have a business idea.“I wanted to explore that area and see if it could be a place for me,” says Pick, now a senior studying business and design.

We are so grateful for the support of our individual, corporate, and collegiate partners who are committed to helping WISE build an empowered and inclusive community of female entrepreneurs, founders, and industry leaders. Our sponsors are integral to the making of WISE Summit, and we cannot thank them enough for their generosity and contributions.
WISE uses an inclusive definition of “women” and “female”, and we welcome transwomen, genderqueer women, and non-binary people who identify, have identified, or have been identified as female or women.
