Join us in observing International Women’s Day with a dynamic in-person event in San Francisco on Wednesday, March 2nd, celebrating the power of women in business.
Featuring an impressive line-up of leading voices in finance, media, diversity and inclusion, and philanthropy, the evening at the Yerba Buena Center for the Arts promises to both engage and inspire as we work to #BreakTheBias.
In addition to insightful moderated discussions, you’ll have the opportunity to network with a diverse group of like-minded professionals from across industries, and to learn about how you can take advantage of Bloomberg initiatives such as the Bloomberg Women’s Buy-Side Network: California, the New Voices Media Training Program, the Gender-Equality Index (GEI), and more.
Pay it forward: Bloomberg is a proud partner of Dress for Success, a non-profit organization empowering women to achieve economic independence through professional attire and career development tools. We invite you to bring donations of gently-used ‘interview-ready’ professional attire to our International Women’s Day Celebration. Your donations can provide another woman with the confidence to enter or return to the workforce and land the job that will change her life.
