Liz Bohannon to Headline 2026 Soirée Women’s Leadership Symposium

Entrepreneur, speaker, best-selling author and podcast host Liz Bohannon will provide the luncheon keynote address at the eighth annual Soirée Women’s Leadership Symposium on Friday, April 24.

Named a Top 20 Public Speaker in the U.S. by Forbes, Bohannon is the founder of Sseko Designs and a partner and chief growth officer at Noonday Collection. She’s known for her expertise in workplace connections and her trademark “Community Quotient” framework focused on building collective collaboration.

Bohannon is the author of “Beginner’s Pluck: Build Your Life of Purpose and Impact Now” and the host of the leadership podcast “Plucking Up.”

“Each year, SWLS brings together an inspiring mix of programming designed to challenge, empower and connect women at every stage of their careers. Our goal is to curate sessions that not only spark meaningful conversations, but also provide tangible strategies participants can take back into their workplaces and communities. It’s this blend of inspiration and real-world impact that makes the symposium so special,” says Mandy Richardson, symposium founder, Little Rock Soirée publisher and ABPG consumer division president.

“Liz is an internationally-renowned businesswoman, best-selling author and top keynote voice whose work in building purpose-driven companies and cultures of connection perfectly aligns with the symposium’s mission.”

The half-day symposium will once again offer customizable schedules, curated sessions, a women’s wellness panel, networking and opportunities for VIP events and add-on workshops. A full list of speakers and topics, including a morning seminar, will be released in the coming weeks.

SWLS will take place at the Statehouse Convention Center in downtown Little Rock, and is expected to again sell out. The popular pre-symposium VIP networking event will also return on April 23. Early registration is open now.
