2020 Inspiring Women
There are lots of women in the Eastern Bay with fascinating stories. We’ve known that for a while. That was one of our motivations for launching the Inspiring Women conference series last year: we wanted to create an occasion for some of those women to share the stories of following their dreams, facing down fears, overcoming obstacles and achieving big things. Five wonderful ladies stepped up and made our 2019 event an amazing day.
They’re just the tip of the iceberg when it comes to inspiring women. We believe every woman has a story worth sharing and we want to keep bringing you all together to celebrate each other, be encouraged and make new friends.
This year there’ll be another speaker line-up comprising amazing women doing amazing things, plus prizes, giveaways and networking opportunities. There’ll also be a few changes we think you’ll like.
