Can’t Come to the Power Up Conference? It’ll come to you!
Issue 2895 -August 17, 2026
Drum roll 🥁! By popular demand, we have added a virtual option to the Power Up Conference.
Don’t get me wrong: I really, really want you to come to the Power Up Conference in Washington, DC if you possibly can. There is nothing quite like being in the room with hundreds of women and men whose energy is all about gender equality and advancing women’s leadership.
Seeing and hearing Margaret Atwood in person, one of the greatest writers of our time and the author of The Handmaid’s Tale and The Testaments, among dozens of other best-selling books, is a rare opportunity. The Power Tool champions and the rest of the program’s 40+ speakers are equally powerful on the very topics you need for your life and career.
We’ll live up to the theme, ”Audacity: Leadership I Action.”
But so many of you have asked. So we are answering your call to be able to experience the conference virtually if you can’t get there in person.
If you can’t come to the room, the room will come to you. And we will do everything we can so you’ll feel like you’re there in person.
Distance shouldn't be the reason you miss the conference and being part of the movement for gender parity in leadership on Women’s Equality Day, August 26.
