WONDER WOMEN CONFERENCE 2024

The Wonder Women Conference brings together people to connect, educate, inspire and empower one another to take on new and expanded roles in work, community and life.  Wonder Women is proud to offer diverse content featuring local, professional superheroes. We invite you to build meaningful relationships with people across all industries while participating in engaging workshops and hearing from a panel of local leaders on successes and challenges of women and gender-diverse folks in business. Together, we strive to create a community of inclusivity that ultimately encourages all people to own their ambition, break down barriers, and unleash their superpowers. The Wonder Women conference was started to empower those who have historically been denied equitable access to spaces and opportunities in the professional world. This most certainly includes those who identify outside of the gender binary. We have been working extensively with women and gender diverse folks over the years to make this event accessible, welcoming and applicable to everyone. Our team is working hard to ensure there is representation, including gender-diverse folks, amongst our presenters and within the topics of discussion. We are working towards a more inclusive and equitable event, and we always welcome input and feedback from our members […]
