Women’s Professional Summit: EMERGE 2023

About the Women’s professional summit 2023 Theme: EMERGE
This time last year, we were reflecting on the lessons learned from the pandemic. We saw an opportunity to pave a new way forward, rather than going back to “how things were.”
As such, our second conference was built around the theme RE [ENVISION] — seizing the moment to envision (or re-envision!) our future and to be intentional and deliberate about creating the “next normal” for ourselves.
The theme of this year’s summit is EMERGE, which focuses on supporting and inspiring women as they move to a proactive state and into a mindset where they are moving the needle on achieving their personal and professional goals.
While the pandemic may be behind us, a recession is looming and the workforce is changing. Women are demanding new ways of working and contributing, and calling for more accountability — on both sides of the table. Women are embracing the gig economy and creating better boundaries for ourselves, our mental health, and the things that matter most to each of us. Collectively, we are revitalized with ambition, intention, and purpose as we seek to contribute to our organizations in the highest way we can.
The 2023 Summit will include a robust agenda of keynote presentations, mini workshops, panel discussions, and networking opportunities that will explore the theme of EMERGE.
For the first time, we’ll also be offering a special in-person cocktail party in the evening to connect with each other and celebrate International Women’s Day.
We hope to see you there!

Virtual Venue
Virtual platforms are new to many of us. With the help of our Platform Sponsor, Connect Event Hub, we will be hosting this event virtually using the online platform, Remo.
Remo mirrors an in-person event experience by offering both a “stage view” and “networking hall” where guests can virtually sit down at a table to connect and network.
