The second annual Women's Summit will be held on June 20, 2026, at the Hyatt Regency in Irvine, California, where women will be empowered and inspired to make a difference in their communities. Women will have the opportunity to connect with leaders, learn from impactful speakers, and meet like-minded women. They will learn how to be who they were meant to be: fierce defenders, passionate nurturers, and wise leaders.

Women will attend exciting panels and participate in meaningful conversation to explore what it truly means to live as a woman, growing in faith, relationships, motherhood, leadership, fertility and health, and so much more. The event will also include music, mocktails, and a thoughtfully curated shopping event with pro-life and pro-family brands.

Emcee Sami Parker told Live Action News that she is looking forward to this year's event, saying how much she values "the deep companionship of other women alongside me who will cheer me on, who understand my struggles and temptations, and who spur me on to be more like Christ in the way I live and love." She added, "The Live Action Women's Summit is full of women like that. That alone is one of the most wonderful and necessary things about it."

The Summit will feature several exciting speakers for 2026, including:

Lila Rose

Lila Rose first started Live Action in her living room when she was just 15 years old. After discovering a book, several years earlier, with photos of children who had been killed by abortion, Lila was moved to help inform other young people about what abortion does to a preborn child. She organized a group of friends to give presentations to local community groups, educating them about the humanity of the preborn and the violence of abortion.

When Lila was a freshman at the University of California, Los Angeles, she noticed that while she knew fellow students were facing unplanned pregnancies, she didn’t see pregnant students on the UCLA campus. To find out what resources and support UCLA offered its pregnant students, she put herself in a pregnant student’s shoes — by posing as a pregnant student. During that first undercover investigation, the head nurse told her that UCLA “does not support women who are pregnant” and referred her, instead, to get an abortion.

"Women have been told for decades to suppress our femininity, to treat fertility like a disease, and to see pregnancy and motherhood as something to fear," Rose told Live Action News. "At the same time, innocent human lives are being treated as disposable and worthless, especially the lives of the unborn. That is evil, and women who love the truth and who love life need to rise up! That is why we created the Live Action Women’s Summit. This year, we are talking about what it means to be a Fierce Defender, a Passionate Nurturer, and a Wise Leader in this cultural moment."

"The Live Action’s Women’s Summit equips us to make a difference in matters of faith, family and a courageous life," Bevere told Live Action News, adding that she plans to "share how God empowered me to face my fears and walk through a difficult and defining season in life."

Anne realized through God’s faithfulness that her conception was not her crime to carry, and found healing and restoration.

With nearly 20 years of success in corporate aviation and entrepreneurship, Anne recently felt called to continue to speak when her family's story was featured on Live Action’s 2025 Face to Face series — as her life circumstance is often used to justify abortion.

"I wish I had attended something like Live Action’s Women’s Summit when I was younger—my heart was searching for love in all the wrong places," Farrens told Live Action News.
