Testimonials from attendees

I ran into women I hadn’t seen in years! It was great to hear about the state of the industry along different tracks and gain valuable insight.

Organized, easy networking opportunities, honest conversations, and cutting edge substantive knowledge.

I really enjoyed being on a panel and meeting women from not only the United States, but other countries.
