The 10 Reasons Why You Should Attend WIN Summit 2020
2020 has left us in the wake of extreme pressures on women and increased uncertainties. These challenges are driving the need for new solutions, new structures, and new leadership skills.
That’s why this year’s WIN Summit is bringing together inspirational women from across the country to discuss actionable strategies to create a more inclusive workplace. Women will lead the way to shape a more equitable future.
The only one of its kind, no other summit or conference is focused on building women’s negotiation skills. But WIN Summit is so much more, especially this year. Below you’ll find our top 10 reasons why you should attend WIN’s virtual summit and consider sending members of your team.
- Who Will Be There and Why YOU Should Not Miss Out
In addition to powerful keynotes delivered by author and powerhouse leader Beth Comstock and 3x Olympian and 7x Olympic Medalist, Swimmer Dana Vollmer, you will have access to engaging and thought-provoking panels as well as academic workshops. All of this, allowing you to engage and hone your negotiation and leadership skills authentically.
2. An Engaging Virtual Event Experience
Through Hopin’s virtual event venue, you’ll be able to interact with the event almost as if you are attending the summit in person. Move in and out of ongoing sessions, network with other attendees at any time, and see what sessions are beginning in real-time. You’ll be able to enjoy the content without having to download or install any software. Just be sure to have a pen and paper or a phone handy for some serious note-taking!
3. Network, Network, Network
It’s no secret that in order to be successful, you’ll need to expand your network. At WIN Summit 2020 you will be able to connect with other attendees throughout the day with chat features, face to face meetings, and structured round tables. Want to connect to a community of professional women beyond the summit? Opt-in to either the Insider Access or Premier Access levels and get a year of WIN Woman Membership at a 50% reduced rate.

4. Advance Your Career
All of our educational sessions are programmed with you, the attendee, in mind. No matter your career stage, tap into the knowledge of women from all backgrounds and communities to learn invaluable negotiation skills preparing you for critical leadership roles. WIN Summit will also feature access to an exclusive job board from our partner companies as well as group mentorship sessions for our Premiere access attendees. When you invest in yourself, you are investing in your future success.
5. Interactive Exhibit Booths and Swag Bags
Integrated with the virtual venue is an Expo area with a virtual exhibitor hall that will include vendor booths from WIN Summit’s sponsors and partners. An array of brands, products, and services will be there for you to access. You can also communicate with each vendor directly through chat or video which means you can learn more about organizations in real-time, from a real person.
Plus if you opt-in for Insider or Premier access, you’ll be able to “take home” a virtual swag bag with free products, and services from our partners and sponsors! And Premier Access ticket holders will also receive a beautiful physical WIN Bag filled with physical goodies such as a mask from Lele Sadoughi, and a Revitalash brow and eyelash lengthening kit mailed directly to your home.
6. Get Education Credits
Beyond a basic learning and professional development experience, WIN Summit is SHRM and CLE accredited which means you can receive professional development credits for HR and Legal recertification.
