We'll be bringing together some of the most impressive experts in the industry, so you can learn from their experience and expertise. You'll also get a chance to network with other women in your field, which is crucial because it's so important to have mentors who know what it's like being a woman of color in this industry.
There are lots of benefits to attending our conference: You'll get hired on the spot if you're looking for a new job! You'll have the opportunity to meet people who share your interests and experiences (and maybe even make some friends). And most importantly, you'll leave armed with valuable tools that will help you succeed in your career.
