Introducing The Top Women Network

As part of the broader Top Women Network, nominees join a growing community of leaders across marketing, media, and technology.

The Top Women Network is a premier, cross-industry community celebrating and advancing the most accomplished women shaping marketing, media, and technology. Born from seven leading awards programs, the Network unites honorees, finalists, and innovators into a year-round ecosystem of recognition, leadership development, and meaningful connection.

We spotlight the women redefining their industries—and provide the platforms, programming, and amplifying power to help them go even further. Through live events, editorial content, peer networks, and collaborative opportunities, the Top Women Network ensures that leadership doesn’t happen in isolation. It happens together.

*Self-nominations are welcome, and previous Top Women honorees are eligible to make the list multiple years in a row. Open to applicants world-wide.
