Working Mother Multicultural Conference Summary
Sep 18 2007
I have finally finished my posts on my experience attending the Working Mother Multicultural Conference (POWER: OWN IT. — USE IT. SHARE IT.) Since the posts have been stretched out over the last couple of months, I thought it might be helpful to do a summary post for new readers.
I was given the great opportunity to receive a scholarship to attend the conference that was sponsored by JP Morgan Chase. Thank you! Thank You! THANK YOU! JP Morgan. Since we are bootstrapping Babble Soft, any money we can use to help our company grow is truly appreciated. It was one of the best (dare I say best!) conferences I have ever attended in my life, and I’ve been to many of them.
The picture (taken by Rohanna Mertens of Doug Goodman Photography) shows Carol Evans (in the fabulous pink suit), founder/CEO of Working Mother Media shaking hands with conference attendees and speakers. Thanks to Carol for envisioning and implementing such a great conference and helping create such a fabulous experience for all of us!
I recently got notice that Working Mother’s Media 3rd Annual Multicultural Women’s Town Hall meeting will be in Houston, Texas on October 18, 2007. Unfortunately, I can’t make it because that is the same week my husband, Erin, who is chair of the Austin Wireless Alliance, is coordinating the Texas Wireless Summit here in Austin and boy has he helped to get some amazing speakers for that event! The Who’s Who of Wireless is scheduled to be there.
Now for the good stuff. Here’s a summary of all the posts I wrote about my trip to New York and the conference experience:
