Save The Date: MusicRow Announces Date & Location For 2026 Rising Women On The Row
MusicRow is proud to announce the date for its 13th annual Rising Women on the Row breakfast, honoring female executives in the music industry.
This year at a new location, the JW Marriott in downtown Nashville, Rising Women on the Row will take place the morning of Tuesday, March 3, 2026.
Details regarding the nomination process and tickets will be announced at a later date.
MusicRow Owner & Publisher Sherod Robertson held the first-ever Rising Women on the Row in 2012. He was inspired to start the beloved event when thinking of his grandmother, and how she was never honored for her accomplishments and tenacious spirit. Since its inaugural year, MusicRow has recognized over 60 deserving executives as Rising Women on the Row.
