Hear why this may be one day you can’t afford to miss.
Our Annual Conference provides a unique opportunity to gather with prominent leaders committed to strategically addressing the critical issues around diversity and flexibility. While usually held in Washington, DC, due to the pandemic the conference will be virtual again in 2022. Regardless of location and format, our speakers and attendees come together to explore success strategies for improving retention of top talent and the most up-to-date action steps to create a truly inclusive work environment.
Each year, our conference brings together corporate leaders, partners at professional services and law firms, general counsel, and diversity and inclusion and talent management professionals who share how they’ve implemented successful strategies in their organizations for retaining and promoting women and supporting work-life control for everyone.
