17TH ANNUAL STERN WOMEN IN BUSINESS CONFERENCE
February 6, 2009
Registration coming soon.
Highlights from the 2008 Conference:
Business in High Heels: Making Our Mark, Breaking the Mold
The past decade has seen major changes for women in business. Not only have we seen a greater presence of women in the workforce, but each year, there are increasingly more women CEOs, CFOs, and Company Presidents. With this shift have come new programs and greater benefits for women across many corporations. This year’s conference recognizes that many women are taking it upon themselves to change how business is done and we hope to see this trend continue.
In recent years, we have seen a refocus of women’s goals in the workplace. Women have gone from fitting in at the office to fitting the office into their personality and lifestyle. We have seen the evolution of networking events from golf games and cocktail hours to shopping events or high tea get-togethers. We have also seen a change in the way women dress in the workplace from suits fashioned off of traditional menswear to trendier, more feminine clothes fit for their body type. Today’s generation of women is not just looking to develop their business careers but to take their role to the next level and make their mark in the business world.
We are excited to bring together current students, alumni, prospective students, and many female professionals at this year’s SWIB Conference to discuss these new hot issues. This year’s conference promises to be educational, interactive, and insightful. We hope that through the two keynote speakers, the panels, and the afternoon roundtables, each conference attendee will gain some insight into how they will leave their mark on the business community.
Some exciting innovations the conference include:
A New Venue: Bridgewater’s @ 11 Fulton Street atop the Fulton Market Building at the South Street Seaport
A New Afternoon Event: A Roundtable Discussion
