Momentum: The Power of Penn Women began as a virtual conference in 2021 and has expanded to a series of ongoing events celebrating the power of Penn women. We invite alumni and Penn community members of all backgrounds and generations to come together to learn, connect, and share how we are making an impact locally and globally. Momentum events are inclusive and trans-affirming. We embrace the identities and histories of all who attend.

Momentum events are co-sponsored by Penn Alumni Lifelong Learning, Penn Spectrum Programs, the Association of Alumnae, and the campus partners listed below.
