in-person events
What is your cancellation policy?
After purchasing a ticket, refunds and credits towards future events are not available. Tickets may be transferred to another individual at Kayo’s discretion up to 4 business days before the event.
What is included with the registration price?
Registration includes access to all conference sessions, networking breaks, and receptions, unless otherwise noted. It doesn’t include any accommodations, travel or additional for-cost workshops.
Who should attend a Kayo Summit?
Kayo is a community for women in business, finance, and investing. All are welcome. Programming is geared towards emerging and senior leadership, primarily in areas of business, investing, development, legal, and talent.
How can I apply to speak?
Good call on your part! Speaking is one of the best ways to get noticed and boost your career. If you have a story, experience, or learning to share, you can apply year-round through our website. Click here to apply.
How do I become a sponsor?
We have sponsorship levels for all budgets and bandwidth. Click here to inquire about sponsorship opportunities.
Where can I find the agenda?
On each event page, we will have a brochure or agenda available for download, depending on where we are in event planning. Full agendas are typically released two to three months prior to the event, though we send topics, panels, and keynote announcements all year long. Make sure you are getting updates via email by joining our event waitlists or downloading the event brochures.
Where can I find room block information?
Kayo reserves room blocks at each luxury host hotel we select for our events (because who has time to worry about being comfortable?) Room blocks are limited and tend to sell out quickly. Hotels are listed on each event page, and “how to book your room” instructions will be sent after you register.
Where will next year’s events be?

Is press allowed at Kayo events?
All Kayo events are closed to the press.
