Ellevate Network Announces Speakers and Sponsors for 2018 Mobilizing the Power of Women Summit for Gender Equality
NEW YORK (PRWEB) March 05, 2018 -- Ellevate Network, the leading network for professional women, will hold its second annual Mobilizing the Power of Women Summit in June, designed to bring together thought leaders in the space of gender equality and discuss some of the most pressing issues facing the world today. The Summit is intentionally focused on the diverse perspectives of people who are not typically brought into the gender equality conversation in events like this, people who are doing things to change the world for the better, and inspire others to do the same.
The 2018 Mobilizing the Power of Women Summit will take place on June 21st, 2018 at AppNexus in New York City and will be streamed live globally to expand the influence of the movement.
Ellevate Network CEO Kristy Wallace explained, “The Mobilizing the Power of Women Summit has proven to be a force for parity. After a successful inaugural event last year, we’re making this year’s Summit a day not to miss. The partners supporting us, the guests who will be on stage, and the community in the room are all very special parts of this unique event. No one else brings together an intentional community like Ellevate Network does, and we’re looking forward to hosting our most impactful program yet with Mobilizing the Power of Women 2018.”
