Stay in.
Change it.

Why we're meeting
Women aren't leaving because they can't do the job.
They're leaving because of everything around it: the exhaustion, the frustration, and the feeling that you have to work twice as hard to be heard. We've heard enough horror stories. It's time to change the story.
The day's focus
Three ways forward
Stay in
The confidence, skills and people that keep you in the industry when it gets hard.
Change it
Practical ways to shift the culture, whether you lead a team or you're just getting started.
