ABOUT THE CONFERENCE: Attracting upwards of 700 individuals, primarily female professionals, each year, this annual one-day leadership conference has become a signature event in Worcester. The conference is designed to offer attendees incredible opportunities for professional development, personal growth, and business networking. This is achieved by bringing women together to learn, listen, and address issues which are important aspects of both personal life and a professional career.
