RM 72: The Future of Female Entrepreneurs | Chicago
About this event
Overview: Join General Assembly and Virgin Hotel Chicago’s for the next RM 72 event, a morning of connections, coffee, and good conversation with a panel of successful female entrepreneurs and innovators growing thriving businesses in Chicago.
In honor of Equal Pay Day, we’re bringing together inspiring female leaders from across industries to share their learnings, failings, and secrets of success.
What You'll Take Away: It's an opportunity to learn from the best - serious wisdom, from seriously cool women, all designed to empower you and your organization’s success. Whether tackling the gender gap, disrupting an industry or starting a business, come out to be inspired, pursue what you love, and have some fun while you’re doing it.
Not only will our panel of women will share their advice and perspective on #thefutureisfemale, but they’ll also share candid stories about their fears, failures, the best advice they never took, and the lessons - and action to take from it - learned throughout their life/career/entrepreneurial journey.
After the morning panel, you’ll have the opportunity to participate in speed mentoring sessions with our trailblazers.
Why It Matters: Women earn 82 cents to a man’s dollar; only 2.7% of startup founders getting capital are women, according to a Department of Labor Current Population Survey; only 34% of all web developers are women. We strive to empower women in local communities to reach high, achieve their goals, and make an impact on the world, so let’s be the changemakers to improve and eradicate those numbers.
Formal agenda to come soon.
