On March 6, 2024, Visionary Women hosted its International Women's Day Summit at Beverly Wilshire, a Four Seasons Hotel in Beverly Hills. The sold-out event drew more than 500 attendees celebrating women making meaningful change across industries and communities.
Among the honorees was Jane Veron, co-founder and CEO of The Acceleration Project (TAP), who received the Visionary Catalyst Prize — an award recognizing leaders whose work creates transformative impact at scale.
