Loved the Keynote Speakers.
Cathy HeppnerConcept Plumbing & GasSuch an incredible event – it felt like three days of a big warm hug. I made some wonderful contacts, gained invaluable knowledge, and was incredibly inspired by all of the talented women that all want to leave the planet a little better than they found it.

There is no question that this was once again one of the most captivating conferences that I have attended—with not only one good idea—but many. It is wonderful how the panels all have different points of view that foster challenging perhaps our previous opinions or at the very least give us more information to have an informed opinion. Our team thought it was time well spent indeed!

EDCGreat opportunity to learn and connect!
I am feeling inspired, educated and frankly blown away by the many amazing women and men that we encountered over the three days. What a fantastic and first-class event! It so exceeded any expectations that I had and I have been passing the word around at BMO that we should be very proud to be the presenting sponsor at this event.
