  • KBW Business & Brunch 2027

    KBW Business & Brunch 2027

    Join us for our 6th annual KBW Business & Brunch 2027. Confluence Aquatic inspired vibes at the largest women’s summit in NE Houston! ✨ Hosted by Kingwood Business Women , Business & Brunch is our signature annual fundraising event benefiting one outstanding nonprofit member serving the Lake Houston community. In nature, a confluence is where two or more rivers join together, creating something stronger than each could alone. It’s a place of connection, momentum, and possibility. Just as the rivers and bayous converge to form the waters of Lake Houston, connecting the communities we call home, so too do the women who lead them. We come from different towns, industries, experiences, and journeys, yet together we create one powerful network where leadership, opportunity, collaboration, and sisterhood flow as one. Business & Brunch 2027 marks a historic milestone as we unveil the next chapter of our organization: the evolution of Lake Houston Business Women and its community chapters. This isn’t simply a new name it’s the natural evolution of a movement built by remarkable women across the Lake Houston region. Join hundreds of accomplished women from Kingwood, Atascocita, Humble, Huffman, Summerwood, Fall Creek, Generation Park, Porter, New Caney, Crosby, and beyond for an inspiring morning of connection, celebration, philanthropy, and visionary leadership. Think elegant waterfront sophistication with modern power dressing. Flowing fabrics, refined tailoring, soft coastal colors, elevated accessories, and effortless confidence. Timeless, polished, and worthy of one of the most anticipated women’s leadership events in the Lake Houston area.
