Panels Overview |

Morning Panels 10:15 - 12:15 Women Supporting Women Read more here... Many of us are seeking growth and enrichment in our careers. And, since most of us will share the workplace with other women, female networks should serve as a means of support. This panel will discuss how our professional interactions influence each others’ careers and development, and how in some industries and types of companies, this support is more prevalent and positive. Panellists will share how their careers have been impacted by other women and how we can work to support each other in shaping our careers. Diversity at the Board Table Read more here... How many women sit on executive boards? How have these women achieved this and what can gender diversity achieve in the board room? The panellists will talk about the journey women have made towards these positions, their accomplishments and what is at stake for companies with non-diverse boards. Power of the Female Consumer Read more here... As Business Week reports, the rise in female consumer power is changing the way companies design, make and market products and services. Regardless of their life status -- be it the corporate woman, the married mother, or the independent woman -- the female consumer makes more than 80% of the purchase decisions for her home. Our panellists will explore how women in business can take advantage of the innate insights of our gender to market to females more successfully. Afternoon Panels 13:45 - 15:45 Women of Ingenuity Read more here... In the world of entrepreneurship, women are becoming ever more prevalent at creating and building innovative businesses that affect and improve all of our lives. What differentiates these women and how have they succeeded in taking the risk beyond inception to fully fledged entrepreneurial companies? In this panel, we present inspiring women who will discuss how they found success through entrepreneurialism. Role Models of our Generation Read more here... From Margaret Thatcher to Olympic gold medallist Kelly Holmes, our generation is seeing an increase in outstanding women who have beaten all odds to reach success in their careers, becoming figures of inspiration for generations to come. This panel presents several remarkable women who will share with the audience their experiences and how they attained their dreams. The X-Factor: Your Formula for a Successful Career Read more here... Achieving success in one’s career is more than just doing a good job. What is it that sets women apart from others to drive their careers? Managing relationships and networks within and outside one’s organization can play a major role in career development. What can we draw from ourselves and from interactions with others to boost us in our career development? Panellists will discuss some of the more definable traits of those who have made it to the top and will provide advice on how to set one’s self apart whether to attract an employer or advance in our careers.
