Why Attend
I really appreciated all the amazing experiences that were shared. Thank you for putting together an outstanding event!
We had 8 women attend from Hytek Finishes. And I am not joking when I say this is the best conference I’ve been to in a decade! I was very impressed with the lineup of speakers and the quality of content.
Congratulations for this initiative, and thank you very much for the invitation. Together we definitively can build a better world where discussions like this will be part of the history.
