Everything You Need To Know About WIN Summit 2023: The Future Is Female

Apr 17

About

It is a crucial time for women to enhance their negotiation and leadership skills. Looking ahead, it’s imperative that women and organizations alike drive transformation for a more equitable future. We’ve come to understand in the last couple of years, that it’s only through lifting that we rise stronger and better.

This year, we invite you to discover, engage, and connect on April 19, 2023.

Come together with other women over the course of a single day to learn how to elicit strategic information in a negotiation, counteract bias, and learn how to leverage their power and bargaining position.

We’re bringing WIN Summit’s unique workshops and panels with practical, yet powerful strategies to the digital stage. Now in its seventh year, WIN Summit will center around three themes, 1.) Negotiation 2. Diversity, Equity, Inclusion, and Accessibility 3.) Leadership.

Led by renowned professors, distinguished thought leaders, and top industry experts, we’re bringing together inspirational women for powerful discussions and lessons.

Through empowering and inspiring programming aimed to strengthen women’s leadership, WIN Summit 2023 is dedicated to the advancement of women and their organizations. We can’t wait to see you there.

What to Prepare

The event will be hosted on the virtual venue Hopin. You’ll be able to tune in to each of our sessions from either your phone or your computer. Please note: Hopin is optimized for a desktop or laptop computer, and we highly recommend using your Mac or PC to attend WIN Summit 2023.

1. Create your Hopin profile.

Once you register for WIN Summit and log in to your Hopin account, on their dashboard you can easily edit and update your individual profile. When you first register for the summit on Hopin, you will be greeted by the WIN Summit 2023 Event page. If you go to Hopin.com, you can log in with the account email and password you registered with and will enter the Hopin Dashboard. In either scenario, you can click the bright blue button on the top right corner and scroll to either “Profile” or “Edit Profile”. Here you will be able to upload a profile photo, add a brief bio, and highlight some of the things you think are noteworthy about yourself. You can even link to your personal website or LinkedIn profile. This will help other attendees easily identify and get to know you. You can share as much or as little as you want in your profile.

2. Find a quiet place to watch.

Try to situate yourself in a room that does not have a lot of echo or background noise so you’ll be able to hear all the great advice from our experts. Keep your headphones handy if your home is not able to accommodate a quiet space. Minimize your distractions: try to stay away from noisy electronics and silence your cell phone and computer notifications. A strong WiFi connection will ensure you stay connected

3. Arm yourself with a notebook and pen!

You won’t want to miss out on jotting down notes.

4. Dress for success.

There will be opportunities to meet with representatives from companies and attendees during the event. Be prepared for live video chats with other attendees throughout the day and during our distinguished networking sessions.

During our structured networking session, led by Stephanie Virchaux, you will be paired intentionally with other attendees for small group conversations (3-4 people) via live video. Cultivate meaningful connections, slow down the speed, and take away something tangible from this curated networking session.

Exhibit Hall

Head to the Exhibit Hall at any time to visit our virtual vendor booths. With a dedicated chatroom, you can speak directly with a representative of the company or learn more about the organization’s products and services.

Bookstore

Many of our inspiring speakers have written phenomenal books. We’ve made it very easy to purchase your own copy of their work through our online virtual bookstore. You can enter the bookstore through its exhibit hall booth. Purchase yours as gifts for your friends, family, coworkers, or even a self-care gift for yourself! Many of our speakers will be doing meet-and-greets throughout the day, so be sure to come to the booth to see the schedule and chat!
