14th Annual Women's Leadership Conference 2018 | The Conference Board (TCB) | 1 May 2018 | New York Marriott Marquis, 1535 Broadway, New York, NY 10036, USA

Change is coming. And patience is running out for those who don’t get it; even the most successful companies and business leaders are vulnerable to reputational, legal, and business loss for failing to effectively battle gender bias and advance gender parity. But for those organizations ahead of the curve, the rewards are great: drawing from a bigger and more engaged talent pool; benefiting from the diverse perspectives that drive innovation; better connecting with those making the overwhelming majority of household purchasing decisions.

Where will your organization be in this time of change – leading it or being left behind? Bring your team to the Conference Board’s 14th Annual Women’s Leadership Conference to learn from the latest research, strategies and case studies on how to grow a culture of leaders and change agents – women and men – on gender parity.
