GW Women in Business Conference

Just over two weeks ago I volunteered and attended the 2nd annual GW Women in Business Conference. It is one of the premier  business conferences held on campus that is coordinated entirely by students, particularly the GW Women in Business organization. Several of my good friends serve on the executive leadership team and so of course I was there to help support their hardwork as well as the student group! The conference was held on Saturday and comprised of leaders from various “Fortune 500” companies and start-ups, such as Wal-Mart Inc. and Next Big Sound, who shared their career experiences and secrets to success with GW students and other young professionals. The conference focused on four main themes which students could learn about: social media, entrepreneurship, emerging markets, and business and public policy. There were over 20 panelists, professionals, and professors in attendance and was open to males and females from all majors and universities in the Washington Metropolitan area. I had such a wonderful time attending the conference and was glad to help in the background logistics of the day!
