WeAreTheCity is delighted to invite you to “Women Unplugged” on Wednesday 15 April 2015
at Chicago Booth School of Business
‘Women Unplugged’ is an exclusive event, which will feature an inspirational line-up of speakers, each one passionate about the progression of women. Delivering in the style of short, sharp Ted Talks, our five speakers will succinctly share their top tips for success and give a taster of their commitment to empowering women.
Following the 10-minute talks, we will encourage our audience to join the debate and get involved in what will be a provocative, thought-provoking evening. As with all WeAreTheCity events, the speaker sessions will be followed by networking and the chance to meet the speakers, share experiences, find out more about the Chicago Business School and connect with other WATC members.
During registration and networking there will also be the opportunity to have a professional headshot taken with John Cassidy, The Head Shot Guy. Please note we will be supporting Smart Works at this event, therefore if you wish to donate any pre loved and in good condition suits, bags or accessories, please feel free to bring them along.
