VIDEOSMPW 2026
In an era of profound geopolitical tension, economic volatility, and rapid technological transformation, definitions of leadership and influence are being rewritten. At this year’s Fortune Most Powerful Women Summit, we’ll chart a new blueprint for power — and deploying it — that prioritizes clarity amid uncertainty, collaboration across divides and purpose alongside performance. As global dynamics evolve and AI reshapes industries, leaders face an urgent challenge: to navigate change while building the partnerships and power structures that will define this new era of business. Join MPW to rewrite what power and leadership looks like in a world that no longer plays by the old rules.
From Merchant to CEO: A Conversation With Latriece Watkins
At Sam’s Club, Latriece Watkins is leading a $96 billion business more than 10 times the size of what some Fortune 500 CEOs are running. If Sam’s Club were a stand-alone company, it would sit at No. 43 on the Fortune 500, above Tesla and below Target. (The Walmart segment position is also famed as a proving ground for future CEOs.) The Sam’s Club CEO, who this year made her debut on the MPW list, will weigh in on the most important topics in retail, from AI and technology to consumer spending in an uncertain economy.
