Empower Her: Advancing Women in the Workplace and Beyond
DIVERSITY REBOOT SERIES 2024:
According to a 2022 report by McKinsey, women continue to remain deeply underrepresented in technical roles, are twice as likely to be mistaken for someone more junior than their male counterparts, and are more quickly reaching burnout than men at their level. At the same time, women are 2x as likely to spend a substantial amount of time on DEIB work than male leaders!
For this year’s flagship Diversity Reboot summit, we are centering around empowering women in the workplace. We’re presenting a four day event, a dynamic and empowering summit dedicated to championing the advancement of women in all areas of professional and personal life.
We have gathered together thought leaders, industry experts, and change-makers from across the realms of business, tech, policy, media, and DEIB to explore strategies for breaking barriers, fostering gender equality, and creating inclusive environments where women don’t just survive but thrive.
Join us for a mix of insightful fireside chats, upskilling workshops, panel discussions, keynotes, and interactive networking sessions. This summit addresses topics such as work-life integration, personal growth, and leadership development. By celebrating the achievements of women, fostering connections, and providing a platform for shared experiences, Empower Her aims to inspire, equip, and uplift women from all walks of life, amplifying their voices and shaping a future where every woman has the opportunity to succeed, thrive, and make a lasting impact in their chosen fields and beyond.

Mother's Monday 2023
POWERED BY PATH FORWARD
When working mothers arrive at work, they often feel like they have to check their motherhood at the door. What if instead we acknowledged it, celebrated it, and helped corporate culture adapt to it? That’s what Mother’s Monday is all about – a day to pause and celebrate working motherhood and ask how we might collectively reinvent the relationship between motherhood and work so that ambition and caregiving can co-exist. It’s about tackling gender inequality and reimagining the role companies and society can play in supporting mothers and in the process better support everyone else, too.
The fourth annual virtual Mother’s Monday event, now powered by Path Forward, will feature impactful speakers and will spark conversations meant to challenge stereotypes, uplift, and inspire corporate action. A movement all year, a gathering May 15, 2023.
Fireside Chat with VA representative Jennifer Wexton
Representative Wexton will discuss how the US government is tackling issues impacting working mothers - both as an employer (funding to study childcare provided to federal employees and to research returnships) and legislatively via efforts like the childcare provisions in federal funding legislation.
Childcare Panel
Access to childcare is one of the biggest hurdles for women’s workforce participation and increasingly for men as well. How can companies create policies that support and/or provide more affordable, reliable childcare for working parents?
Parental Leave Panel
The US is one of the only developed countries with no standardized parental leave policies, putting the burden on creating policies on companies. How are employers evolving their policies around parental leave to better support new parents and to bring gender equity to the practice of taking parental leave?
Return to Work Panel
The transition from new parent on leave to working parent is difficult, and even more difficult when the transition back to the workforce follows a lengthy career break. What are leading companies doing to support this transition?
Speakers include:
Blessing Adesiyan, Founder & CEO, MH WorkLife
Gayatri Agnew, Founder, Mother’s Monday and Senior Director and Head of Accessibility Center of Excellence, Walmart

Destigmatized: Visible & Invisible Disabilities and Neurodivergence

Working-age adults with disabilities participate in the workforce significantly less than those without disabilities, while neurodiverse adults continue to experience unemployment rates much higher than their neurotypical counterparts.

Disability and neurodiversity inclusion is a critical, yet often overlooked component of DEI efforts and business expansion. PowerToFly is looking to change that by hosting a one-day, interactive summit focusing on destigmatizing disabilities and neurodivergence in the workplace, both visible and invisible.
Please join us for talks on topics such as:
- Understanding neurodiversity
- The benefits and drawbacks that hybrid and remote work can have on a person with a disability
