Imagine a community of women, more than 85 million strong and counting, in which everyone is a pioneer—a disrupter—an innovator—a visionary. Well, it's here! It is today’s women professionals, entrepreneurs, and those in transition, either stepping back into the workforce or those determining what their next steps are. It is this community to which Women’s Leadership LIVE (WLL) is devoted.

Today’s women executives face a dizzying array of challenges and pressures in a complex world where the business climate is constantly changing.

Women are creating, building and leading some of the most dynamic enterprises in America. Along the way, often at great risk and against the odds, they have shattered glass ceilings, overcome entrenched stereotypes, and have redefined the meaning of leadership and success. Despite the myriad of issues facing women entrepreneurs and professionals, they cite a high-level of satisfaction and excitement with advancement in their career and when starting their own business.
