Join us for the seventh annual Innovative Women’s Conference on March 26, 2021, via Zoom.

The theme for this year is Reimagine 2021: Exploring Our Connection to Change. We hope that participants have the opportunity to reflect on how they have connected with others during these unforeseeable times and also how they have connected with themselves.

We hope you join us during this half-day virtual event that includes two morning sessions, compelling transitional messages, informational videos, and a powerful keynote speech from Gina Loften, chief technology officer at Microsoft, to end the event.

This year, the conference is free of charge.
