So unique for a networking event to also be about connecting at such human and authentic levels. The sharing of both triumphs and struggles was so genuine. We could all set aside our "everything is great" facade. Refreshing on so many levels.

Leslie and Melissa are creating something special with Wednesday Women. I recently attended one of their dinners and was grateful for the openness of the conversation and inspired by the amazing group of women they brought together.

In one evening, Wednesday Women turned a room of mostly strangers into a connected, empowering circle of trust!

If you have the opportunity to attend a Wednesday Women dinner, DO IT! I have attended many professional happy hours, networking events, event dinners, and breakfasts and this was BY FAR the best. The people, the authenticity, and the conversation were all so incredible.

It was empowering and friendly, welcoming and inspiring in equal measures!

It was a pleasure to meet so many incredible executive women. The energy and positivity and support in the room was quite unlike any other event I've been to. Looking forward to the next one!

Wednesday Women is a powerhouse of inspiration and empowerment! Everything event brings together incredible women from diverse industries, each sharing invaluable insights and supporting one another's growth.

The community spirit of WW is unmatched—it's a safe, welcoming space to learn, share, and push the boundaries of what's possible in business and leadership.

If you're looking for a place to connect with ambitious and generous women who are committed to making a difference, Wednesday Women is where you need to be!

A truly impactful evening, building supportive, collaborative relationships between women who are ready to make a difference. I can't wait for the next one!

The dinner that we sponsored led to a handful of valuable co-marketing programs, 2 intros to people outside the dinner that are potential sales, and 1 deal revived from the dead because their CMO was at the dinner and excited to engage with us!

February and March have been our highest ever win rates for event-influenced deals. Directly correlating with The Women in Privacy series and meetup. February was our highest ever. All other channels are down.

Hot take: Not all women’s executive groups are created equal. Some feel performative. Others, transactional. I’ve had friends join groups full of impressive resumes…but minimal impact. Wednesday Women is entirely different: No ego. No empty promises. Just women who actually like helping, advocating for, and supporting other women. If you're a female exec craving real connection, not just another Zoom room, this might be your people.

Thanks, Wednesday Women, for the space to foster genuine conversations in a laid-back, come-as-you-are environment. You can't fake good energy— and I definitely felt it.

Going to a dinner will blow your mind. I still can't believe I got to sit next to a Female Founder who's company is valued at a $1B and we've been texting since.

I loved the event and the opportunity to connect with such an incredible group of women.

My first Wednesday Women event was the most comfortable, inviting event I've ever been to. It was such a safe space to share, laugh, and truly connect. Everyone was ready to give – not get – and that's a rare find.

Wednesday Women over-delivered on the dinner. I walked away with insights and deeper, more meaningful connections. It was the highlight of the conference!

What a great networking event. The attendees, format, venue and format were excellent.

Really great initiative to bring ladies from different industries together to help each other and inspire each other

The event exceeded expectations, bringing together an incredible group of diverse, brilliant women in a stunning venue. The format set such a powerful tone, creating space for genuine connections and shared purpose that is already in motion. The energy was electric, with authentic support and encouragement from these phenomenal female leaders. I left with meaningful connections I’m excited to nurture.

Wednesday Women provides the opportunity for women from various backgrounds to come together to support each other.

I was very impressed with the WW event and would consider myself privileged to attend another in the future.

I made some valuable new connections and feel I have built a network I can trust and rely upon in such a short period of time. Quite amazing!

The power in a WW event is astounding. It's filled with love, positivity, energy and support. You won't soon forget the women you meet and the events are designed to continue the ripple long after they end.

I definitely recommend Wednesday Women for any woman looking to grow her network with intention!

Wednesday Women coffee meetup was proof that the best opportunities come from the right rooms. In one morning, I connected with an AI expert, was able to refer a business coach, and landed a potential speaking opportunity—all because of a simple but powerful question: Who can you help?

I instantly felt right at home getting coffee with WW in Phoenix.

Leslie and Melissa curate meaningful gatherings focused on connection and impact. It's a great use of time.

I went in unsure about what to expect and came out with 40 new badass female friends.

This was by far the best professional networking event I have ever attended. What set is apart from others was the authenticity. The goal was truly connection and support - there was no pitching, or posturing at all.

This event has truly been an exceptional experience! It brought together a remarkable group of women who generously shared their stories, offered support and guidance without any judgment, and eagerly absorbed insights from one another.

At the dinner, I shared my hopes and the lean-in from this group was overwhelmingly positive.I had 4 personal introductions that night and could not have grown so fast without this incredible group of women who uplift and inspire one another.

I can not tell you how moved I was by the women at your event tonight. I was almost moved to tears when Alina spoke about women being the glue that holds companies together, and I love that you are advocating for women to ask for help. Even as a fly on the wall, I have never felt more seen. I can not thank you enough for letting me photograph this incredible group!

A WW event is a space full of powerhouse women, deep conversations, and so much real connection - an evening that left me so inspired!

A dinner so beautifully curated, it felt like a love letter to community, connection, and to the women who keep showing up for each other. An evening that opened the door to real talk, support, and momentum.

I am so honored to be part of the Wednesday Women community, with gratitude for such an amazing movement and the pitch/speaking opportunity it created.

Investing in communities that highlight women, people of color, and beyond isn't charity... It's good business. We could not be more proud to partner with Wednesday Women. What Melissa Moody and Leslie Greenwood have built is truly amazing and we encourage other companies to invest into what they are building.

This wasn’t your average networking event. It was a vibrant room full of powerhouse women — CEOs, community leaders, marketers, consultants, project managers — all showing up for each other, learning from one another, and laughing a lot (especially when we realized how many of us are ADHD, firstborns, and achievement-oriented to our core).

So thankful to have found alignment between what Wednesday Women is doing and the community of women in finance we’re growing at Zone & Co. Women empowering women? Always the right move.

Thank you for creating such a valuable and empowering community of remarkable leaders. I left feeling supported, energized and motivated to invest more in community and my own growth.

Wednesday Women is such a unique and magical group. Even if you're not into "exec women's groups" this one is different.

What an incredible event that Leslie and team curated! Every single detail was absolute perfection, from the menu to the seating chart to the discussion format to the amazing caliber of women that filled the room. Can't wait for the next one!

This was an amazing opportunity to be in the room with brilliant leaders who deeply care about connecting. Not just networking, but connecting and creating relationships that help us all succeed more.

We need MUCH more of this in Saas. In my literally 20+ years in tech, have I seen so many exceptionally talented, present, open to support people in one place. And it was a TON of women! I have NEVER seen that many women in tech in one place.

And what SaaStock USA absolutely got right: Starting the event with the Wednesday Women Breakfast, not tucked away at the end like an afterthought. It was literally the first thing you saw when you walked into the meeting space on Day 1. What a way to set the tone for the women of SaaS. More of that, please!

Let’s be honest—do we really need another Slack group where the last message was “Happy Friday 🎉”... six weeks ago? Nope. But you know what IS worth your time? A space where brilliant executive women actually show up, swap real stories, tackle real challenges, and hype each other up like it’s earnings season.

The mission, the energy, the intention—it all resonates.

In just 2 years, Wednesday Women has lifted up executive women across the globe.

I’m always on the lookout for communities that genuinely support executive women - and Wednesday Women has been one of my favorites to follow.

The purple is real, y'all 💜 Looking for support, camaraderie, or simply a safe place? Check out Wednesday Women and join the last group you will ever need.

I attended a Wednesday Women event at the end of last year and many will remember my gushing about how well it was organized, hosted and how different it was to other networking events. The friends and genuinely deep supporters I have made as a result of that event are a further testament it wasn’t just a warm fuzzy feeling at the time.

This isn’t a day fading LinkedIn trend. It’s not another noisy network. It’s the real thing. Real women. Real conversations. Real support. Quality connections (dare I say friendships?) > distant contacts you’ll never talk to again.

I've joined 23 women's networks. Only ONE changed me forever.

It’s a new vibe, for awesome execs to come together to tackle challenges, share wins, and uplift others. I’m a big supporter of the WW mission overall—and I’m just thrilled to see the ripple effect this new offering will create.

𝐌𝐨𝐫𝐞 𝐰𝐨𝐦𝐞𝐧 𝐨𝐧 𝐦𝐢𝐜𝐬 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐬𝐭𝐚𝐠𝐞𝐬. 👏👏👏 More women in rooms where real decisions get made. More women supporting other women. That’s what Wednesday Women is all about - and why I’ve been a fan since day one.

Empowered Women Empower Women - and I'm always here for it. I believe in the power of connection - not just to get things done, but to help people grow, thrive, and feel seen. That’s why I’m proud to support Wednesday Women as they're building exactly that.

As someone who was raised primarily by women, reported mostly to women throughout my career, built leadership teams consisting primarily of women, married an absolute boss woman, and is now partnering with another absolute boss woman, this is an org and cause I gladly support.

I've seen firsthand the incredible work Leslie Greenwood and Melissa Moody have put into creating a community where extraordinary executive women can connect, thrive, and uplift one another. This new membership is not just another group—it's a safe, empowering space built specifically for women leaders to tackle challenges, share wins, and celebrate authentic connections. It's about cultivating genuine, high-caliber networks and amplifying the visibility and voices of executive women. I genuinely believe that when one woman shines, we all shine brighter.

After founding and scaling a women's organization to 15,000+ members, I know one truth: 89% of women's networks fail to deliver real value. This one won't.

You might say, "wait, Anne, don't you co-lead Women of Pavilion? Isn't that competitive?" And to that I say, "Only if you want it to be. There's enough space for abundance, support of others and their achievements and celebrating excellence without having to put others down."

💜 Wednesday Women has always been about one thing: amplifying executive women—on stages, in boardrooms, and everywhere decisions get made. I'm constantly in awe of Melissa Moody and Leslie Greenwood's genius in knowing how much the world needed Wednesday Women. I’m passionate about our mission and am incredibly grateful to show my support as a volunteer, advisor, and superfan.

Since learning about Wednesday Women (and getting to know Leslie), I’ve become a true fan. What she and Melissa Moody have built is intentional, energizing, and totally aligned with the kind of spaces I care deeply about and work to foster myself.

There are a lot of great women’s networks out there. But I think this one is EXTRA special. It’s for exec-level women who lead with authenticity, care about real connection, and want to help all women rise, not just themselves. I have found my people.

I strongly believe it’s not only up to women to help other women. Men need to advocate, amplify, and make space too. So, yes, let's all do our part and it's pretty easy...Just start following Wednesday Women.

Wednesday Women didn’t start with a bold idea. It started with one that was long overdue. Executive women have been leading, solving, building, and mentoring for decades. But too often, our work happens behind the scenes—recognized quietly (if at all), and rarely spotlighted for the expertise it brings. Melissa Moody and Leslie Greenwood saw that gap and did something about it. They created structure around something many of us have quietly wished for: a community that truly sees each other. That celebrates not just the wins, but the wisdom behind them. That reminds us we’re not alone in the hard stuff.

We all want the same things: To be seen. To be heard. To be accepted as we are. Without needing to “optimize” our personality. Wednesday Women started small here on LinkedIn—by celebrating others. And now, the membership they've launched for exec women helps make life a little lighter, and a whole lot more human.

Powerhouse. Kickass. Champion. Leader. Over the past three months, I've met some amazing women executives who are part of the Wednesday Women community. They're smart as hell. They're changing the world, and they're finding a safe, positive space where exec women like themselves can tackle challenges, share wins, and uplift each other. Their space is Wednesday Women.

There’s no shortage of women’s networks out there. But Wednesday Women? It’s different—and in the best way. Since joining, I’ve had some of the most genuine, thoughtful conversations with women who are navigating leadership, life, and growth with clarity and purpose.

Having a support system isn't weak, it's what gives me my edge. We all have mentors, but this is not the same. The new Wednesday Women Membership just launched—and this is the powerful forum we need, a safe, positive place where other leaders can help me tackle any challenge, share wins, and uplift together.

When I first started in sales, I felt isolated. The only woman in the room. Navigating challenges on my own. Wondering if anyone else got it. When I became active on LinkedIn, everything changed. I discovered Wednesday Women, a community that has shone a light on powerful women breaking barriers. Seeing those stories lit a fire in me. It made me realize what was possible. It inspired me to start my own thing.

I've said before that if public speaking is the # 1 fear, followed closely by death at # 2, I'm pretty sure networking slides in comfortably at # 3. But here's the thing, it turned out to be the most genuine, organic, and immediate community I've ever experienced and I don't say that lightly. It was exactly what I needed at this huge moment in my career, and I'm forever grateful. That energy stuck with me and I could NOT STOP writing—ideas, plans, thoughts. The floodgate had opened. I walked into that room not knowing a single soul, and left with a community I didn't even know I needed. I can't help but think about what a difference having a group like this would have made earlier in my executive roles—the support, the perspective, the unfiltered honesty.

Throughout my journey, I've learned that we go further when we go together. What I love most about Wednesday Women is their understanding that connection isn't just networking, it's about building community in professional spaces.

To the incredible women in my network: Your stories matter. Your leadership matters. Your voice deserves to be heard. Wednesday Women's mission resonates deeply with my values of fearless growth, community, and empathy. We need more women's voices on stages and in boardrooms, not just for representation, but because diverse perspectives drive innovation.

It was great! Great menu, great discussion, super diverse group, everyone contributed!! Overall- best dinner I have attended in a long time.

Leslie Greenwood and Melissa Moody are not just building an organization; they are creating a movement by providing a safe space where women can thrive!

The Wednesday Women’s Dinner was nothing short of incredible. It wasn’t just networking; it was immediate, actionable connection. The energy in the room was electric, rooted in generosity, vulnerability, and a shared commitment to lifting each other up. Huge thanks to Osano for sponsoring such a powerful and purpose-driven gathering.

The evening was fantastic and special. No ego. No hidden agenda. Just a room full of smart, powerful, real women showing up with authenticity and vulnerability. That isn't always the case with women and this event was so refreshing. I walked away empowered, energized, and feeling like I can tackle what is before me. I didn't walk away drained and doubting myself like I can in networking situations. Thank you Leslie and Melissa for this community!

As a partner, working with Wednesday Women, was a dream - Leslie and Melissa took the reigns in creating a very meaningful event together. All I ever needed to do was have a 30 min intake planning session, and then approve all of the work at key moments to execute a deeply meaningful event.

My experience with Wednesday Women fuels me in a few different ways. The curated events where we share hardships that we're working through. The cathartic discussions among members help WW stand out from other executive communities I have been a part of. The sheer "rolodex" of women you can turn to when you need 1:1 guidance. And one of my favorites: learning to better celebrate our wins as women executives.

Wednesday Women added an incredible new layer to SaaStock USA. The community they're building is something special - it's more than a network of female executives, it's an ecosystem of expertise, engagement and energy. The team is driving real change in the world of events.

In this season of change and growth, I’ve been craving deeper connection — not just conversation. And this community delivers. It’s a table built by women, for women, with room for everyone to bring their full selves.
