Last year was the year of the Shero, and our conference focused on women doing extraordinary things. This year we want to bring out the Shero in YOU and invite you to make your own pledge and promise for change. Our 2021 Conference theme will support #Choose to Challenge and will feature individuals and organizations who have made exceptional achievements and a steadfast commitment to supporting female leadership in business. We would love to have your thoughts for what you would like to learn this year. Who would you like to hear from? What will you challenge? Who do you want to meet?
