CAREER ADVANCEMENT - The Balance Quest: Building a Life That Works for You (W) ..............................................Meeting Room LL20“Having it all” has become the subject of much debate, with passions running high in all directions. And with such a wide spectrum of priori-ties, workloads, and resources, it is impossible to define “life balance” for all women. But what if the equation were different altogether? What if there were a recipe for giving you more time to do what is important to you? Time management expert Laura Vanderkam will share time management strategies that may make the difference between just hanging on and possibly feeling like you are “having it all.”
SPEAKER: Laura Vanderkam, author, I Know How She Does It @lvanderkamEMCEE: Nikki Medoro, San Francisco radio personality, KGO 810 @kgo810 @nikkimedoro
LEADERSHIP - Creative Change (W) .......................................................................................................................... Meeting Room LL21ABCCEOs, top executives, and other business leaders agree that creativity and innovation are vital to thrive in a competitive world. But according to the research of former Wharton management professor Jennifer Mueller, many business leaders chronically reject creative solutions and instead embrace the familiar. Mueller’s research reveals that it’s not just CEOs, but many others who struggle to accept creative ideas even as they seek innovation. Mu-eller will address the tough questions these findings raise: Do we love but also hate creative ideas? Could the mind-set we use to evaluate ideas turn this love or hate on or off—in an instant? Do experts struggle even more than novices with this bias? And even more startling, could our “best practices” activate this bias, and inadvertently kill innovation? Mueller diagnoses this hidden innovation barrier and will share her solutions in this workshop.

CAREER ADVANCEMENT – Fine-Tune Your Brain: Making and Implementing Decisions Effectively (POE) ........ Meeting Room LL21DEFEvery day, in every part of our lives, we face an increasing number of choices. Our business and personal futures depend on how well we scru-tinize, assess, and implement these choices. Research supports that women approach decision making differently than men (and not necessarily in the ways we have been led to believe). Join cognitive psychologist Therese Huston as she breaks open the misconceptions on how women make decisions. She leads a discussion on creating optimal choices, optimizing decision making (using people and technology), and communi-cating decisions so that others can help turn them into actions.

Sharing personal experi-ences and hard-earned strategies, this conversation will help you reach beyond your comfort zone and explore tactics to eliminate feelings of inadequacy and achieve authenticity.

PERSONAL DEVELOPMENT - Be More with Less: Making Room for What Matters Most (W) .............................................. Ballroom 220B Are you overwhelmed by busyness? The quest to earn more, produce more, and be more can complicate the simpler, more intentional lives we desire. Author Courtney Carver knows first-hand about the consequences of a busy life, which compromised her relationships and eventually threatened her health. In this workshop, the author of Soulful Simplicity: How Living with Less Can Lead to So Much More shows us how to stop getting caught up in the rush and to discover the power of simplicity. She shares how conscious minimalism can improve health, build more meaningful relationships, and relieve stress in our lives. Participants will learn how to boycott busy, get rid of excess, and create more with less—more space, more time, and even more love.

EMERGING PROFESSIONALS - Navigating Office Politics with Grace (POE) ..........................................................................Ballroom 220CYour workday is filled with them—people who frustrate, whine, undermine, plot, and impede progress. You can’t always choose who you work with, but you can choose how you approach workplace drama. This session will detail specific techniques for doing just that with easy-to-follow scenarios for common situations. Taking into account the modern work issues including technology, generation gaps, and language barriers, re-searcher Amy Cooper Hakim and a panel of executives will discuss diffusing tensions and bringing civility back to the workplace. Come away with a clearer understanding of why people operate in different ways as well as clear strategies for working successfully with different personality types.

PERSONAL DEVELOPMENT - Retire with Enough Money: Strategies for Making Your Money Last (W) ....................Meeting Room 210EFWith ever-changing policies on retirement planning, it’s tempting to put off saving for retirement until there is a clear path to follow.

CAREER ADVANCEMENT - Transform Your Working Life (W) .......................................................................................Meeting Room LL20Whether we have a good day or not depends partly on things we can’t control—perhaps an unexpected crisis or a cranky colleague. But behavioral science shows that many things that seem “random” can be strongly influenced by our own actions. Caroline Webb, economist and former partner at McKinsey, will demonstrate how tweaks to our daily routines can transform our experience of what happens around us, the number of hours in the day, our level of intelligence, and even other people’s moods. She will share insights on handling everyday challenges and being your best even under pressure. With this kind of powerful insight in your back pocket, attendees will leave with the power to trans-form their approach to life for boosted workplace performance and personal satisfaction.

LEADERSHIP - Diversity Refresh: What We Really Need to Be Successful (W) .......................................................... Meeting Room LL21ABCWorkplace diversity can increase productivity, job satisfaction, innovation, and even a business’s bottom line. Increasingly, companies know how vital it is for their workforce to have a collective well of experience and perspectives, but their approach to increasing diversity has not changed much over the decades. Dr. Vivienne Ming reframes how leaders of both small and large organizations can address diversity in their ranks. She presents a fresh approach to why diversity is crucial, how to shift well-intentioned practices that can actually be exclusionary, and the right metrics to measure effectiveness.

CAREER ADVANCEMENT - The Secret to Getting Ahead: Your Guide to Communication, Negotiation, and Being Heard (POE) .............................................................................................................................

We need to start talking to each other.

Whether you are an introvert or an extrovert, an executive or a manager, shy or a social butterfly, this session will provide new tools for you to have powerful conversations in the workplace.

PERSONAL DEVELOPMENT - Radical Honesty: How to Tell the Truth (Even When No One Wants to Hear It) (W) .......... Grand Ballroom 220AEven if you believe that honesty is the best policy, we don’t always say what we really mean, especially in the workplace. Talking openly about issues and challenges can go against our desire to be nice and make one another feel good. When Patty McCord was the chief talent officer at Netflix, she co-authored the company’s famous “culture deck,” which spelled out her vision for creating a company culture that hinges on em-ployees behaving like, and being treated as, adults. Part of being an adult is being able to hear and tell the truth. In this workshop, the author of Powerful: Building a Culture of Freedom and Responsibility explains why radical honesty is the only way to ensure that you are trusted and understood. Participants will learn about different styles of delivery, systems for offering feedback, and how leaders can model key behavior like admitting fault. Bring your questions about transforming your workplace and your life with radical honesty, from disagreeing with your supervisor to recruiting, motivating, and creating great teams.

Whether you are looking to increase diversity and satisfaction at your company or to inspire meaning or momentum in your career, join this essential conversation about allyship, advocacy, and what it takes to find and become a sponsor.

SMALL BUSINESS ROUNDTABLES Led by expert facilitators, roundtables offer an informal and intimate setting to share best practices around a very focused and specific topic within the small business and entrepreneurial spaces. Roundtables are discussion based and will not feature a formal presentation. This ensures each discussion is truly personalized and allows attendees to ask questions relevant to their needs. Roundtables are limited to ten people per topic and are first-come, first-served. We encourage you to come early to guarantee your spot. However, we will offer each roundtable a total of three times to give attendees the opportunity to participate in multiple discussions on different topics and ensure that participants have another opportunity to join should a table fill up fast.
ROUNDTABLES WILL TAKE PLACE AT THE FOLLOWING TIMES: 3:00 P.M. – 3:30 P.M. 3:35 P.M. – 4:05 P.M. 4:10 P.M. – 4:40 P.M.
Building Credibility as a LeaderSuccessful leaders are trusted by their teams, who depend on them for their expertise, transparency, and smart decision making. However, credibility is hard to earn and easy to lose. Whether you are an emerging leader building a new team or an established one looking to boost your credibility, join this roundtable to learn about owning your vision and building trust and respect to make that vision a reality.
Speaker: Susan Repo, corporate treasurer & VP, finance, Tesla, Inc. @tesla

Make Small Business Financing Work for YouWhether you are a novice or seasoned entrepreneur, financing your business is most likely top of mind for you. Having the right funding strategy for your business is critical to getting your business off the ground and in flight. Obtaining funding can be a daunting process, but it doesn’t have to be! You’ll improve your chances of success by brushing up on the essentials. Learn key financing terms and the core elements to consider as you
explore small business financing options. Understand how to evaluate rates and terms, how repayment structures work, what your total cost of borrowing is, and how to manage your business’s cash flow. You will walk away from this session with tips and resources to help you take command of the financing process and put that money to work! Speakers: Mana Sopheak & Somie Park, client advisers, small business, Lending Club @lendingclub
Negotiating 101Study after study suggests that women are disinclined to negotiate. But if you don’t ask, how will you ever get what you want? Dorit Perry is an international attorney with over twenty-five years of experience in business communications, negotiation, and conflict resolution. Join this roundtable to learn more about persuasion, influence, and how to communicate what you want. Par-ticipants will leave with practical tools and phrases to use when the opportunity arises to start the conversation and make a deal.
Speaker: Dorit Perry, attorney & adjunct professor of law, Santa Clara University @santaclarauniv
Overcome Bias to Get Your Start-up FundedNew research suggests that unconscious bias among venture capitalists is keeping female entrepreneurs from securing more funding. In 2016, industry data shows that women-led start-ups received $1.46 billion—a fraction of the $58.19 billion for start-ups led by men. As a venture capitalist, Maveron’s Anarghya Vardana invests in consumer frontier-tech companies com-mercializing AI, VR, robotics, food tech, and drones. She shares her thoughts on how to overcome gender bias when seeking
funding, from positioning your start-up to the language you use to answer questions. Speaker: Anarghya Vardhana, senior associate, Maveron @anarghya503 @maveron
Persuasive Communications for Small Business OwnersPersuasive communication is essential for small business owners, though our messages aren’t always as consistently compelling as they could be. During this roundtable we’ll discuss why people choose to listen to—or ignore—you; how to read the room in order to better influence your intended audience; framing your communication in a way that highlights the benefit to them; and the small though vital communication traits required to be persuasive, including effective word choice, confident body
language, and a strong voice. Speaker: Hope Timberlake, founder, Forté Consulting @timberlakecomm
So You Want to Serve on a Nonprofit Board?Serving on a nonprofit organization’s board of directors can be a meaningful way to give back to the community.

Join this roundtable discussion to learn about board responsibilities, govern-ance, and fund-raising, as well as how to successfully find a seat and serve on a nonprofit board of directors.
Speaker: Gail Hunter, VP, public affairs & event management, The Golden State Warriors @warriors

Participants in this roundtable will learn how to foster a culture of collaboration within
their company and key partnerships, including the skills, tools, and behaviors needed for success. Speaker: Norma Watenpaugh, founding principal & CEO, Phoenix Consulting Group @normawat
