Event Details

From engineering to entrepreneurship, women are underrepresented at every level in the corporate pipeline. While career opportunities for women have increased dramatically over the years, representation in the C-suite is far from parity, with only 21% of positions filled by women. At what point does this gap occur and why? And how do we work together, across generations and leadership levels, to create stronger pathways for women in the workplace?

Join us for a cross-generational conversation with industry leaders to explore these questions and discuss the ways we can continue on the road to equality.

This event is part of the BrainStation Gives Back Initiative, all proceeds will be donated to Dress for Success.

This event, as with all of our events, is an open and inclusive environment. We invite anyone who is interested to join us for this conversation.
