Women in Professions Summit brings together 20,000 registered women at Expo Center São Paulo and celebrates the strength of female entrepreneurship
São Paulo hosted the opening of the
Women in Professions Summit this Monday (4), one of the largest gatherings dedicated to female leadership and empowerment in Brazil. The event was conceived and promoted by businesswoman Luiza Helena Trajano, an internationally recognized figure in entrepreneurship and innovation since the founding of her company, Magazine Luiza.
Held on August 4 and 5 at Expo Center Norte in São Paulo, the event brought together thousands of women from all regions of the country for a program focused on leadership, innovation, management, and business development.
With approximately 20,000 women registered, the Summit transformed the capital of São Paulo into a major hub for exchanging experiences, networking, and strengthening female entrepreneurship. The opening ceremony was marked by a deeply emotional moment: the performance of the Brazilian National Anthem by singer Fafá de Belém, who received a warm standing ovation from the audience.
Throughout the first day, the stage welcomed major figures from entrepreneurship, culture, and communication. Among the distinguished guests were actresses Beth Goulart and Denise Fraga, as well as businesswoman Janete Vaz, co-founder of Grupo Sabin, who shared her inspiring journey of leadership and innovation.
Another emotional highlight was the exhibition Brazilian Monalisas by Dilson Cavalcanti. Since the creation of the Brazilian Monalisas project, the artist has honored remarkable Brazilian women, including Luiza Helena Trajano, portrayed in the artwork Monalisa Luiza Trajano.
The business fair was also one of the event’s main attractions. Companies from various sectors showcased their products, services, and solutions in specially designed booths created to welcome entrepreneurs, investors, and professionals interested in expanding connections and business opportunities.
Delegations from Brasília, Federal District, the State of Goiás, and several other regions of Brazil took part in the gathering, bringing together businesswomen, executives, independent professionals, students, and women seeking professional growth and new perspectives for their businesses.
Globally recognized for her leadership at Magazine Luiza and for encouraging female entrepreneurship, Luiza Helena Trajano once again demonstrated her ability to bring people together around a common purpose: strengthening women’s presence in the workforce, innovation, and business leadership. Her journey is defined by the management of one of Brazil’s largest retail networks, leading an organization with thousands of employees and inspiring generations of entrepreneurs.
The Women in Professions Summit continues this Tuesday, August 5, with an intense schedule of lectures, discussions, business model presentations, innovation, technology, leadership, and professional development activities. The expectation is for another day filled with learning, strategic connections, and recognition of women’s strength, consolidating the event as one of the most relevant entrepreneurship gatherings in Brazil.

|  THE WEEK IN REVIEW
|
|
| President Trump celebrated a historic America First immigration victory as the United States recorded net negative migration across every metropolitan area for the first time in at least 50 years, with illegal border crossings dropping to their lowest levels since the 1970s. He issued a presidential memorandum directing the Department of Homeland Security to provide back pay and benefits to thousands of frontline TSA officers impacted by the ongoing shutdown, calling it an emergency situation compromising national security. The President also swore in Secretary Markwayne Mullin as the ninth Secretary of Homeland Security to advance border security, remove criminal illegal aliens, and combat cartels and terrorism. Additionally, he proclaimed National Agriculture Day 2026, honoring America’s farmers and ranchers while highlighting landmark investments, over $40 billion in assistance, and efforts to cut regulations and open new markets.
The Trump Administration continued delivering rapid results on border enforcement, homeland security support, leadership transitions, and strong backing for American agriculture this week. |

This coming August, the Academy of Sciences, Letters, and Arts of Brazil (ACLAB) invites the public, notable figures, officials, and friends to the official celebration of its 6th anniversary—a significant milestone in the promotion of culture, education, and art within the state and the country.
The event will take place on Saturday, August 29, 2026, at 6:30 PM, at the Prefeito Virgínio Ometto Theater (Rua Pedro Chinelatto, 203, City Center, Iracemápolis/SP).
A highlight of the program is the confirmed attendance of actor Deo Garcez—who plays President Nilo Peçanha in the Rede Globo soap opera *A Nobreza do Amor*—symbolizing respect for national history and culture.
The ceremony will include the induction of new academic members, the presentation of the "Best of the Year" Awards, and a tribute to patroness Cora Coralina. This tribute involves presenting an award bearing her name to recognize individuals who uphold her legacy of literature and Brazilian identity. Special recognition will also be given to Vicência Bretas Tahan—the poet's daughter and the devoted guardian of her work—who has dedicated herself to preserving and sharing her mother's memory and values with future generations.
Featuring additional honors, cultural performances, and a social gathering under the leadership of International President Baron Ednei Pereira, ACLAB marks its sixth year firmly established as a cultural reference point, strengthening the values of science, literature, and art.

Today is President Obama’s birthday! As he celebrates another trip around the sun, I know what my friend is thinking: How many more young leaders can we lift up through the work of The Obama Foundation? What life-changing programs can we power even further? How can we inspire every visitor who comes to the Obama Presidential Center to bring change home? |
|
|
Your support will go directly towards the cause closest to President Obama’s heart: investing in emerging leaders and empowering them to change the world. |
