Presented by Illumine Solutions Group & the Love and Leadership Community

We’re thrilled to invite you to one of the most inspiring gatherings of the year—the 2nd Annual Love and Leadership Summit! Hosted by Illumine Solutions Group and the Love and Leadership Community, this powerful event brings together an intergenerational network of over 600 dynamic women from across the St. Louis region—each leading with purpose across a wide range of industries and roles.

Following the overwhelming success of last year’s inaugural summit, we’re returning with even more energy, intention, and connection. This year, we proudly honor the Unsung Heroes of our city—the women whose quiet strength, resilience, and leadership light the way for others. Join us as we celebrate these extraordinary contributors whose stories ignite, inspire, and empower us all.
