2024 Women's Leadership Council Conference

Speaker: Susan Kyles, Executive Director, Washington DC

Each year, WLC chooses a local charity to actively support during an organized activity to “give back” to the community and network with peers.  It is by far one of the highlights of coming together to make a difference at the conference.

Attendees will be divided into 3 small groups to enjoy dinner within walking distance of the hotel on Wharf. Connect with friends and get to know new peers across the industry!

BACK BY POPULAR DEMAND! We have tabletop exhibits hosted by our sponsors. These exhibits will be available during the day on September 20. We encourage you to visit the sponsors, learn about their business and thank them for supporting the conference.  

Founded in 2020, Poker Power aims to empower women with confidence and risk-taking skills by teaching them to play poker. Learning how to think, strategize, negotiate and take risks, like a winning poker player, translates to leadership skills that help women succeed from the classroom to the board room. An expert instructor will guide us through the basics, from hand strength to bet sizing, so we can confidently sit at the table like a boss. We will learn the ins and outs of the game, when to hold, and when to fold, all while having a blast. But it's not just about the game - the skills you'll learn in this program can be applied to your career and life. You'll develop strategic thinking, quick decision-making, and a competitive edge that will set you apart in any field. And the best part? You'll get to put your newfound knowledge into practice right away by playing with your fellow WLC attendees!
