The BE 2026 Women’s CME Conference Theme is
MAJOR: Celebrating a Decade of Empowerment and Sisterhood
Conference Dates: September 24 to 27, 2026 | Venue: Omni Scottsdale Resort & Spa at Montelucia
For ten years, women have gathered at the Brave Enough Conference to step away from the demands of medicine and into a space of renewal.
This anniversary year, we celebrate a decade of empowerment and sisterhood—ten years of lifting each other up, reigniting purpose, and remembering that none of us has to do this alone.
This year marks 10 incredible years of Brave Enough — a decade of courage, connection, and transformation for women in medicine.
Join us for this MAJOR milestone year as we celebrate the community that has shaped thousands of women’s lives. Whether you’re coming back to reconnect or joining for the first time, this is the conference you don’t want to miss.
The BE 2026 Women’s CME Conference offers professional and personal career support designed specifically for women in healthcare who are ready to grow, lead, and thrive.
