We’re bringing together an inspiring, no-pressure panel of women for an open and energizing conversation. They’ll share the stories behind their careers—what drew them to this industry, the wins they’re proud of, the challenges they’ve overcome, and how they’ve turned their unique perspectives into strengths. Together, we’ll explore how we can empower and pave the way for the next generation of women in our field.
