Closing Remarks
**Agenda is subject to change.
Level up your career in these areas. WIN Summit 2022 featured three learning tracks with 3 Keynotes, 7 Panels, 6 Workshops, an interactive Brown Bag Lunch, Structured Networking, plus a hybrid Exhibit Hall.
Negotiation
Negotiation is at the core of almost every impactful conversation you have. It begins with understanding your self-worth and then entitling yourself to advocate for your needs.
Leadership
For those looking to grow into leadership positions, the reality of our virtual silos has made it even harder to get the recognition we deserve. By reframing ongoing challenges for female leaders, we can effectively overcome them.
Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion
The anchor to great leadership is inclusivity. By developing the tools we need to understand and respond to implicit and explict bias, we can better support one another and create more equitable policies.
