This conference offers a unique two-track format that lets you select from eight sessions — making it easy to jump from track to track and choose the workshops most relevant and important to you.

Why a conference for women only?
Many professional women find conferences and seminars designed for everyone leave critical questions unanswered and key problems unaddressed. This conference won’t sidestep the important gender-related issues you face; you’ll learn strategies and techniques that are workable and comfortable for you. Just as important, you’ll be growing and learning with other professionals who have similar goals — influential women from your community you might otherwise never meet.
