Gearing Up will be in its 17th year as the premiere conference dedicated to professionals in the first decade of their career. This dynamic event focuses on the leadership aspirations of women and non-binary individuals, and we welcome all allies. Gearing Up prepares individuals to take risks, to aspire to higher leadership, and to grow as inclusive leaders.

This transformational day provides participants with resources to thrive professionally and personally, with opportunities for self-reflection, group exploration, and interactive learning. Gearing Up's impact extends beyond the one-day event through goal-setting activities to encourage continued learning and development. Our empowering program fosters strong communications to help attendees develop a network of talented and supportive professionals.

We'll have exciting networking activities and door prize opportunities for those who attend. 

Who Should Attend? 

This conference aims to connect those in the first decade of their careers, specifically women and non-binary professionals and allies. The goal of this conference is to gain inspiration and confidence to continue to thrive and strive for leadership positions, therefore, those who may fall outside of this age group can still gain inspiration and skills to continue moving up in the corporate pipeline.
