From the opening keynote panel of women C-Suite leaders to the closing keynote from Caroline Kisia and everything in between — documentary film nights, 100+ presentations, and a reception featuring local wines and cheeses — this conference delivered distinctive opportunities for learning, discussion, networking, and renewal.
