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.

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.
