LIGHTING THE PATH FORWARD
NAVIGATING THE PEAKS OF PROGRESS
On October 16, Athena convenes its 5th Annual Lifting While Climbing Summit at Resmed’s global headquarters—a gathering designed not just to inspire, but to mobilize.
At a moment when women’s advancement is being tested, Athena is answering with resolve—amplifying its mission to elevate, equip, and embolden women and allies to lead with purpose, courage, and community.
This year’s theme—Lighting the Path Forward | Navigating the Peaks of Progress—captures the charge before us: to rise higher, fortify alliances, and safeguard the hard-won ground of equity and innovation. Where shadows loom, this Summit stands as a shining light on what’s possible when bold leaders move together and in community.
Expect an rapid pace of breakthrough insights from:
-
AI trailblazers shaping the future of intelligence
-
Climate tech pioneers reimagining sustainability
-
Workforce equity champions redefining access and advancement.
This immersive experience enables a convergence of change agents in business, policy, and social impact. It’s the kind of room where connections spark movements, where visionaries collide with opportunity, and where you will not want to be a spectator, but a participant of history-in-the-making.
