Industry Panel: Making Your Dream Job

What actually makes a job a "dream job" and how do we design it for ourselves? Whether you are navigating executive leadership, pivoting mid-career, or preparing to enter the workforce from school, this session is for you. Join us for an inspirational, cross-generational conversation about what women at different career stages need to thrive. We’ll explore how to advocate for your goals, bridge the gap between seniority levels, and actively shape a workplace where everyone, from interns to executives, can build a career they love. The discussion will be punctuated by an interactive audience survey to fuel the conversation and gather more insights from the women in the room.

The Career Exchange: An Interactive Card Game

Choose a card and let the conversation begin. Each prompt is based on real workplace experiences, from first jobs and career risks to leadership and the future of the industry. Pair up, share your story, listen to someone else's and then switch partners for another round. You'll leave with new ideas, new connections and probably a few stories you'll remember.
