Intercontinental Leadership Summit to Address the Global Technology Ecosystem
WE United announced the dates for its 10th Annual Leadership Summit. The conference will take place from April 22-24 at Würth Elektronik’s facilities in Munich, Germany, and October 6-9 in the U.S. at the Balboa Bay Resort in Newport Beach, California.
Bringing together leaders from across the electronics supply chain and connected technology sectors, participants represent a cross-section of the technology ecosystem. Thus, the Summit becomes a strategic opportunity to engage and exchange perspectives across roles, functions, and regions.
Built around the theme Imagine, the 2026 Summit reflects the changing expectations of leadership inside technology-driven organizations, as they respond to accelerating product cycles and increasingly complex supply chains. Today's leaders must make decisions with limited certainty while sustaining performance, organizational culture, and long-term growth.
Registration for both events is now open, and attendance is intentionally limited to ensure meaningful dialogue and engagement.
Grounded in real leadership experience rather than theory, Summit discussions will focus on practical situations faced by leaders on a daily basis, including strategic tradeoffs, organizational tension, communication challenges, and leadership execution. Participants will share candid insights and apply lessons.
A defining element of WE United’s leadership approach is the belief that leadership isn't a title, but a mindset and an action. Emphasis is on leadership rooted in civility, ethics, and humanity, recognizing that how leaders treat people directly impacts business. The Summit’s Ladies in Leadership and Gentlemen in Leadership structure creates space to examine leadership challenges and opportunities from different perspectives, while reinforcing that parity isn't an abstract goal.
