RISE 2022 Women's Leadership Conference (virtual)

RISE 2022 Women’s Leadership Conference (WLC) brings together women for a virtual day focused on cultivating female leaders and building community. This year’s theme, “RISE 2022: Building New Paths” invites our participants and sponsors to reconnect, invest, strive, and envision women leading the way for mental health & wellness, economic empowerment and women’s leadership in San Mateo County. Living, as we do, at the epicenter of innovation, it is incumbent upon us to learn how we can become a catalyst for change. We have a full day planned of informative sessions with dynamic plenaries, round-table networking, an exhibit hall and short coaching sessions.

Early Bird Registration ($25) is December 20 - February 28! 

Standard Registration ($40) is March 1 - March 23!

The fees charged for RISE 2022 are intended to encourage audience members to attend all conference activities. However, we do not want it to be a deterrent to those who face economic hardship; therefore, we have a limited number of waivers available to those with economic hardships or those who are undergraduate or graduate students.
