On September 28 and 29, Nexus will host the inaugural Women in Leadership conference. Attendees will connect, collaborate, and create with one another throughout this interactive event.
WHO WILL BE THERE?
Women of all ages, backgrounds, and industries will gather together to redefine leadership. Both aspiring and established leaders will connect with one another, creating new networks that can last far beyond the conference.
WHAT WILL WE LEARN?
Presenters from around the world will convene in Ann Arbor to lead small group sessions on a variety of topics. Based on their individual experiences and expertise, presenters will share stories, conduct workshops, and speak on topics relevant to women leaders. Attendees will choose from sessions in multiple categories, including inclusion, advocacy, balance, vision, work, advocacy, and more.
WHAT WILL WE DO?
In addition to engaging in breakout sessions and hearing from speakers, attendees will interact with one another. Collaboration and connection are key to good leadership, and the conference is designed with this in mind. Attendees will naturally interact with one another both within designated sessions and during group activities such as yoga, community art projects, and more.
WHO ARE THE FEATURED KEYNOTE SPEAKERS?
There will be several plenary sessions featuring speakers who are excited to share their messages with the conference attendees.
