Registration Opens For State Women's Conference

The 2nd annual Indiana Governor’s Conference for Women will be on Oct. 21 and early bird registration is open now.

The women’s educational event will be at the JW Marriott in downtown Indianapolis and will offer attendees exposure to different professions and fields to inspire women and teach them tools to help them achieve success. Last year, more than 1,000 women attended.

“Joining forces with Gov. Mike Pence to host the Indiana Governor’s Conference for Women again is a thrill,” said conference co-founders Deborah Collins Stephens and Billie Dragoo. “Indiana will continue, through this conference, to be recognized nationally as a pioneer and benchmark for economic and social awareness of women-owned businesses and leadership. Together we can make a difference for Hoosier women. Together we can transform lives.”

So far, this year’s speakers include Katty Kay, Claire Shipman, Whitney Johnson, Pamela Ryckman and Gail Sheehy.  Other speakers, specifically the keynote speaker, have not been announced at this time.

Tickets can be purchased at IndianaGovenorsConference.com. Additional details and updates about the speakers and event can be found on the official Twitter feed for the Conference @INGovConf.
