  • 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.

    Mapping Houston’s Innovation Ecosystem

    Facilitated by Wade Pinder, Ion’s Mentor in Residence Houston’s startup and innovation ecosystem is as vast and dynamic as the city itself, full of opportunities, resources, and talent. Yet, navigating it can be challenging—especially for those unfamiliar with its many parts. Whether you’re an entrepreneur, investor, educator, student, community leader or curious professional, this session will offer valuable insights into how Houston’s innovation ecosystem works and how you can find your place within it. Discover the Houston Ecosystem’s Flow Facilitated by Wade Pinder, the Ion’s Mentor in Residence, this session will help participants map out the journey needed to take an idea from concept to a mature company. Wade brings years of experience in product management, community building, and mentoring entrepreneurs to the table, offering a thoughtful and informed perspective to guide this exploration. The heart of the session lies in exploring a dynamic mind map that Wade has created and continues to refine—an ever-evolving, community-driven tool that grows alongside Houston’s innovation ecosystem. Attendees will not only learn about the ecosystem’s flow but also have the opportunity to contribute to it by identifying gaps, sharing knowledge, and adding their insights. This session will center on the stages of a company’s growth journey, exploring the essential elements that drive it forward. Participants will examine the role of financial capital, from early fundraising efforts to securing the resources needed for scaling, and how these milestones align with a company’s progression. The discussion will also delve into the human element of growing a business, highlighting the evolving talent and expertise required to navigate the entrepreneurial journey. Additionally, we’ll explore the importance of “social capital”—the networks, support systems, and relationships that play a critical role in moving ideas to market and sustaining long-term growth.
