Top of Mind Thursday

It’s exciting to see nearly 6500 women gathered here to listen to a top-notch set of speakers, attend workshops, and network with their peers.

Each year the number of women attending this conference grows dramatically. That’s because so many women are looking for ways to learn, connect, and further their careers, and there are not many opportunities to gather in this kind of environment.
