That's why “In Your Element” is the theme of our 2023 Women Spanning the Globe conference, to be held June 6th in Baltimore and virtually. This event, in its 16th year, is always a sellout. Register for the one-day conference by April 6 and receive a 20% early-bird discount. Registration for men will open on May 8.
Being in your element often happens when there is a connection to the natural world. So, our conference will be built around four natural elements – fire, water, air, and earth. There will, for example, be discussions related to being powerful (fire), empathetic (water), intentional (air), and healthy (Earth). All the speakers – to be announced soon – will focus on the challenges and opportunities in the business world that are unique to women.
It's being called “The Great Breakup.” Women are leaving their jobs at a higher rate than usual, often because they are tired of their male counterparts excluding
them from conversations and making more for the same job. Others are “quiet quitting” for the same reasons. They are staying put, only because they cannot afford
to leave. How can women take back their power so they can stay in the jobs they once loved?
Have you ever been chastised for speaking up at work, even though your boss encouraged you to speak up more often? Have you been told to be both an assertive and empathetic leader, but not too much of either? And do some of your coworkers think of you as either competent or personable, but never both? If you answered “yes” to any of these questions, you have been “double binded.” Hear success stories from dynamic women who, against all odds, have intentionally broken the double bind by remaining authentic and true to themselves.
A key ingredient to success is being empathetic. Leaders who have this trait are more likely to be able to solve problems, as well as drive growth and innovation. But empathetic women often are undervalued or dismissed in male-dominated work environments. Come hear what several women have done on their own and in alignment with their male counterparts to foster a culture of empathy that benefits all genders.
How can women achieve optimal health and wellness? And what can employers do to prioritize women's health in the workplace?
The annual Women Spanning the Globe conference hosted by WTCI is a chance to learn from and network with hundreds of emerging and existing women leaders from the Mid-Atlantic region.
The voices at the conference are diverse and expansive. Since the event's inception in 2005, speaker lineups have included marketing and banking executives, engineers, technology and human resources experts, journalists, and humanitarians. And while these women are spread across industries, they often experience the same professional challenges.

The 2022 Women Spanning the Globe conference was themed "Here. We. Grow." It served as a powerful backdrop for women leaders to gather and discuss the collective and individual progress and challenges in their professional journey. The event was held on June 14th at the American Visionary Art Museum.
Each conference participant was able to explore new pathways so they can continue to grow. And they did not have to go it alone — they were joined by hundreds of other like-minded women.
