Conference Content

WLC’s programming content features multi-faceted subject matter: insights and examples that inspire personal growth and empowerment offered by accomplished women leaders in many walks of life and renowned motivational speakers; skills, practices and strategies for leadership development and career advancement taught by experts, facilitators and career coaches; techniques for personal development (such as health maintenance, financial management, work-life balance, etc.); community engagement; and networking among conference participants who share a passion to lead in business, family and their communities.

The conference format includes keynote speeches and panel discussions at large-group sessions, (please link to speaker page) small-group workshops and networking opportunities.

Our small-group workshops are organized based on levels of leadership development which approximate beginning, emerging and advanced leadership programming. Please review our Leadership Tracks for a more detailed description of our programming model. Our 2018 Workshops for each Leadership Track will be added in the coming weeks.
