Conference Theme: Now Is The Time

Watch the 2018 Recap Video!

In our lives. In our work. In our homes. In our world. Women and men with fresh perspectives or years of experience. We are the change agents. We are the group that will raise our voices and challenge the ways things have always been. The change you want to make may be personal or societal. It may be one step or a revolution. We need to come together and decide what each one of us can do today to advance the conversation and to create a new way for ourselves, our coworkers, our families, our world.

At IWL we recognize that you come to a women’s leadership conference to learn new ways of thinking and acting. To get inspired and get moving. We will spark new ideas. Create experiences, connections and support to take the first step.

Your mission matters. Your voice matters. Now is the time.
