1st VIRTUAL
The Women in Utilities planning team selects a compelling theme. They curate influential, admired speakers to reflect and share their experiences for 45-minute conversational webinars that invite Q&A. Most years tee-up two to three pre-Conference webinars.
Conference sets the stage for a Strategies & Analytics Workshop that often synthesizes prior webinars and welcomes back presenters for a recap. New voices are added sometimes, and a panel moderator often finds ways to personalize the workshop by engaging the audience.

Wednesday morning’s Sunrise Event remains a crowd pleaser. Though early, attendees relish meeting, sharing and connecting with others plus hearing from respected leaders on topics that complement the theme.
