The 10th Annual Diversity Woman Business Leadership Conference was comprehensive, inspiring—and, for many, game changing. T he buzz was infectious. At Diversity Woman's 10th Annual Business Leadership Conference at Disney's Yacht Club Resort and Convention Center in October, the energy level grew as the attendees listened to a stu- pendous roster of speakers and panelists, drawn from the highest levels of the business world. In between sessions and at the evening receptions, the nearly 500 attendees networked, shared business intelligence, and laughed—a lot! More than 50 speakers and executive coaches, ranging from EMC's Senior Vice President and Chief Talent Ofcer Tomas Mur- ray, to legendary publisher Cathie Black and businesswoman and fashion designer Tina Knowles, wowed the conference participants. Panels, such as "Women in STEM: Delivering on the Promise," "Well-Being, Spirituality and Mindfulness," and "Leadership In- sights on Gender Diversity," delivered keen insights and practical tactics. Many of the participants also took advantage of the one-on- one executive coaching sessions. Here are some impressions from the conference. See you at next year's conference, October 10–12, in Baltimore! Celebrating 10 Years "Diversity Woman put on a powerhouse conference and deliv- ered on what millennial professionals want: impressive speak- ers, a cool vibe, access to mentors, and smart takeaways that help us to continue developing ourselves and our colleagues." – Avery Blank, WiRL Senior Consultant, Policy Attorney, Women's Advocate
