607 Women in Learning

11:00 AM - 12:00 PM ET
Wednesday, December 6

This year’s Women in Learning session will be very different from years past!

Stats on women in leadership roles in L&D look as though they are changing. Even as we think we are seeing our first “positive” bump to the needle in a decade, reality and stories from “the field” tell a different story.

This session will celebrate women in learning, the value of Thirty Under 30 cohorts, the importance of empowering women leaders, and the growing need to value and support the “seasoned” (over 30) employee. We will share ways that you can take the opportunity to make a personal commitment and pledge to:

  • Build equity
  • Champion women in learning
  • Accelerate gender equity and the impact of #WomenInLearning 

It appears we need this now more than ever!

In this session you will roll up your sleeves and join in as we explore:

  • Whether media reflects reality. Consider: Wonder Woman entering “No Man’s Land”(2017), the song “Barbie Girl” (1997); and even the recent “Barbie World” (2023)
  • Thirty Under 30 participants sharing what their future looks like
  • Trailblazers—both male allies and women leaders—guiding the creation of impact statements
  • How “creating our own BUZZ” on LinkedIn may have the greatest impact on seasoned female professionals and leaders

Will you make a pledge to champion the impact of women in learning and accelerate gender equity? Join us and find out how!
