Women and Leadership 2023

11th Annual Women and Leadership Conference

Scheduled for September 13-14, this annual sellout conference will be hosted as a hybrid event. The highly popular conference will host a limited capacity of 600 attending live at Boise Center on the Grove in Boise, Idaho and virtual attendees chiming in online in real-time on the virtual platform, Hopin.

Over the two conference days, attendees can participate in six (6) keynote presentations and 12 plus (12+) Skill-builder breakout sessions (choose from 3 options each time). Nearly all of the conference content will be recorded and accessible for a full year following the event to all registrants. This will allow for registrants to engage in as many of the Skill-builder session recordings as they chose and continue to revisit presentations on demand. 

This year’s conference once again hosts an impressive lineup of six (6) distinguished women keynote speakers who have broken barriers and improved gender balance in their field and beyond. Be it elected office, corporate c-suites, small business launches or grassroots movements, these women are transforming the world we live in. 

This year’s Keynote speaker lineup includes such amazing women leaders as retired basketball executive for the WNBA and entrepreneur, Angela Taylor, Associate Chief of the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Forest Service Angela Coleman, Pulitzer Prize-winning photojournalist and founder of Too Young to Wed, Stephanie Sinclair, New York University Development Director who’s known as the “$6 billion woman” for bringing in over a million a day to NYU, Debra LaMorte, former award-winning Fortune 50 tech executive, Cindy Montgenie, and retired FBI Supervisory Special Agent, Sarah G. Draper.

Registration is now closed.
