About the Conference

Strong leadership doesn’t just happen; it takes gumption and grace to make it to the top. It’s in each of us. It means finding your voice, discovering what excites you, and taking the risk to go after what you really want. Discover the strategies that will take your career from successful to extraordinary. Hear first-hand from some of UC San Diego’s most remarkable business women in our community about the leadership style and career choices that got them to where they are today. Attendees will have opportunities to learn about strategies and tools for professional development.

This conference will be a powerful event that features an empowering keynote speaker, a full roster of exhibitors catering to women and the breakout sessions will give you practical, relevant advice and tools to help you navigate through your personal and professional journey.
