I have fond memories of the outstanding friends made at IWF conferences around the world. These special gatherings not only allow IWF members to meet new leaders, but also to experience the best a city has to offer. I’m so proud to call Las Vegas “home” and am looking forward to having you come to our city, and experience our finest restaurants, arts attractions, outdoor recreational places and more.

I just got back from the IWF Cornerstone Conference in Chile, and it really got me excited about our own conference in Las Vegas In November.  Meeting amazing women from around the globe is always the highlight of the IWF conferences, but we are planning to supplement that with great local experiences (through the behind-the-scenes tours) and a sampling of our great Las Vegas cuisine (through the dine arounds). We can’t wait to see you all in Las Vegas!

The IWF World Leadership Conferences are truly inspiring experiences. You have the unique opportunity of meeting and talking with women leaders from all over the world. I don’t know about you, but the international perspective brings relevance to the way we think and lead and it’s not often, at least for me, that we get that opportunity. I encourage everyone, especially those who have never attended a conference, to make sure you do. It’ll be worth it, trust me!
