There is a special, vibrant energy that evolves when you bring people together – and for real. When you get to meet, listen, learn, share moments, and become inspired. It is a feeling of hope and togetherness, and it is something we are finally allowed to experience again.
With society opening back up, we think it’s time we Reconnect & Recharge – by once again bringing brilliant and fantastic women together into one room. A room where we jointly can create that special, vibrant, feeling of togetherness and celebrate the importance of networking. The 19th annual, SACCNY Executive Women’s Conference will dive deep into the power of female networks – knowing the importance of meeting, inspiring, and sharing experiences with each other. By opening the floor to a diversity of participants, we will hear from known, and not so known speakers, sharing their opinions and lessons learned. How can individual experiences inspire a generation of women? How can we together create the networks we desire? – and most importantly help each other grow? Join us for this extraordinary conversation!
