About this event

Everyone has their own definition of success: the path they take, the goals they set, the achievements they are most proud of, and how they envision the “finish line.” Recognizing that no two professional journeys are the same, the Midwest Young Executive Committee and She Runs It has programmed an evening of conversations, connections and community to explore and celebrate the fact that the road to success is not a “one-way” avenue.


Welcome Happy Hour


Kick off the evening by networking and connecting over light bites and beverages, while creating a custom flower bouquet with Lush Flower Bar and snapping a selfie at the vibrant Ohsnap312 LED Selfie Station!

Our Story

We believed in the power of women well before they had a seat at the table.She Runs It was founded in 1912 as League of Advertising Women (later named AWNY), by journal editors Christine and J. George Frederick as a counter to the exclusive, all-male Advertising League. Designed to encourage and promote women’s role in the advertising industry, the club held classes and dinners with presentations on advertising best practices, and gave scholarships to encourage girls to pursue degrees in advertising during a time when women weren’t even allowed in many universities. Since then, we have re-branded as She Runs It. Our community has grown beyond advertising to all facets of marketing, media and tech. We’ve also expanded beyond New York, first to Chicago with our eyes on national expansion.
