Women, more than ever, are taking our place on the global stage as leaders, investors, and innovators. Across every border, every industry, and every stage of business.

Join OC CEO Collective's SoCal Women in Business for a day of global wisdom, celebration, and international business uniting innovators, investors, and leaders focused on global commerce, international business, and cultural awareness.

The 1st Annual Global Women in Innovation Summit for the first time brings together visionary business leaders, global business strategists, and cultural performers for an afternoon that moves between keynote conversations, live cultural performances, and honest dialogue that changes how you see your international business awareness, leadership approach, and space on the global stage.

The Global Women in Innovation Summit is not a conference. This is a convergence — where Silicon Valley strategy meets global culture, where Orange County takes its place as a strategic force in global commerce, innovation meets enterprise, and the women in the room become the story. Why Orange County — part of the 4th largest economy in the world — is emerging as a strategic gateway for foreign companies entering the United States. We will cover tax strategy, corporate law, immigration frameworks, and practical market-entry pathways for international founders and investors. Discover how the OC business community is building the infrastructure to attract and support foreign direct investment. What global companies need to know about establishing and scaling a U.S. presence from Southern California — even in a volatile environment.

Building on the unprecedented success of our OC Women in Business movement, created and launched at UCI Cove in 2024 by CEO Anne Tammel, who first introduced uniting and empowering women in business to Orange County, we are now delighted to unite all professional women on a global level, bringing Silicon Valley into the center of Orange County, and placing Orange County on the map as Global Center of Innovation — for women and men!

The Summit is followed by a sunset VIP cocktail reception and international cultural celebration on the 3rd Floor Terrace, where you can meet the speakers and author, enjoy cocktails and fine foods, and share an evening you won't forget.

She introduced the methodology, discipline, and strategic language the entire technology industry follows today — beginning with the launch that changed everything: the Apple Macintosh. As Steve Jobs' trusted communications strategist, Andy shaped the narrative of Silicon Valley, then built and led its premier PR firm — and for a time, the top firm in the world.

Cunningham Communication grew to 250 people and $50 million in revenue, launching the defining technology companies of its era across global markets. Her Six Cs framework and Get to Aha! methodology have guided thousands of companies from identity to market dominance.

At the Summit, Andy joins live from Silicon Valley to address what it takes to bring innovation to market in 2026, including how companies find their positioning DNA, why alignment determines survival, and what Orange County must get right to position itself as a global center of innovation.
