This conference is one of the few
events I have attended that is
focused on women helping women
with real-life, practical tips on how
to make a significant impact on your
career. Many of the speakers are
willing to share stories not just of
success, but stories of adversity and
how to turn those situations around
into successful ones. I block my
calendar early, so I can be
sure to attend each year.
