Powerful 8
Women’s Work: On Our Own Terms
09.23.21 Powerful Update: Starts this Friday! View the Powerful 8 Draft Program, which includes the Focused Discussions panel topics and speakers. Then, scroll down for tickets.
Powerful 8 explores and reclaims ‘Women’s Work’ on our own terms through dynamic talks by a confluence of acclaimed designers, firm leaders, emerging voices, and thought leaders from across the country.
Don’t miss out on this year’s fascinating and accomplished speakers.
Then, participate in a 70-minute focus group tailored to your specific career path. (An outgrowth of previous years’ lunchtime breakouts, these sessions have been reduced in number but increased in length to offer more information, and richer connections with others who share your interests.)
