BECOMING BRIGHTER
WOMEN WHO LEAD | ROAR 2026

Hosted by Women Who Lead, we invite you to join us March 20-21, 2026 at Trinity Baltimore, MD (2122 West Joppa Road, Lutherville, MD 21093) for ROAR 2026. Registration is open now, with early bird prices available through January 31, 2026, so save your spot today!
WHAT TO EXPECT
This is more than a conference.
This is a sacred invitation of becoming.
It’s a call to become who you were created to be;
with unveiled faces, the Lord’s glory on display like a mirror:
Becoming Brighter: in Identity
Becoming Brighter: in Compassion
Becoming Brighter: in Mission.
In a world that desperately needs us to become who we were always meant to be, let’s do it together. We are BECOMING BRIGHTER.

WATER: We will have complimentary waters at the M Lounge during the event.
LUNCH: Saturday is included in all registrations (Chick Fil-A Sandwiches, Chips & Water).
-
Located in the entire lobby of the “BAC” building, missionaries from the Potomac Ministry Network will be in this designated space to share the good things God is doing through our network all around the world!
The goal is lingering conversations, for women to become more aware of how our Network is making a difference around the world, and to receive and give prayer & encouragement from & to our missionaries!
Complementary waters & snacks will also be provided in this space.
-
On Saturday, we will offer two breakout session times. One before lunch & one after lunch. Multiple speakers will present during each of the two time slots.
We will include the main auditorium as an option, but it will be a breakout similar to others being taught.
Women from across our network will be participating as teachers of these breakouts. More details coming soon on topics and facilitators!
-
Throughout the event, we will have Prayer Team members available. They will be denoted by special light up lanyards and will be posted all over the main room and balcony (not just at the front of the stage).
We will also have a dedicated prayer room available during the breakout sessions.
This space will be to pray, but also will have women from our WWL Leadership Team in the space to pray with women & process what God is doing!
Guided reflection opportunities will be in this space as well for women to process with Holy Spirit what God is doing in them and what God wants to do through them because of what they’ve experienced at ROAR to that point.
Please encourage your group to take advantage of this!
