Hundreds of business professionals will converge at this event devoted to women in business. This year's conference theme is "Managing from the Inside Out," featuring workshops and presentations which will bridge internal leadership and external business development challenges. In addition, there will be a special panel discussion exclusively for Supplier Diversity professionals.

The generosity of the following sponsors to-date is making this event possible: Care.com, Stop&Shop, Comcast, RBSCitizens, and John Hancock.

We're thrilled to have Alyssa Dver as a session leader for our event - she has the strategic knowledge and insight needed to coach women on how to effectively market their businesses and close deals," said Susan Rittcher, President and CEO of The Center for Women & Enterprise.
