LAS VEGAS, March 4, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- Save the date;
The non-profit MGM Resorts Foundation is gearing up for the 13th
annual Women's Leadership Conference (WLC) on August 5 and 6 at the MGM Grand Hotel &
Casino in Las Vegas, NV.
The mission of the two-day event is to provide women, and men
who attend, the developmental tools they need to continuously
advance their lives and careers.
The event had more than 1,600 attendees last year and sold out
early. Conference organizers are encouraging attendees to register
early to ensure a seat and take advantage of the early bird
registration fee of $449. Early
registration runs through April 30;
after that, the cost will increase to $549. Registration includes the full conference
and all workshops and lectures, a networking reception, and
continental breakfasts and lunches catered by MGM Grand. Time is
also allotted for attendees to build key professional relationships
with others while enjoying the hospitality and entertainment of MGM
Grand and other MGM Resorts attractions.
Each year the event's net proceeds are donated to a local
nonprofit organization devoted to the welfare and development of
women and girls.
"We are thrilled to present our 13th annual Women's Leadership
Conference. Gender issues are in the forefront of our society and
the world more than ever before. We are focused on the advancement
of women's personal and career development, presenting powerful and
inspirational thought leaders who are transparent about challenges
women face and solutions, and providing ample opportunities for
attendees to form lasting relationships with other women," said
Phyllis A. James, Chief Diversity
and Corporate Responsibility Officer for MGM Resorts International.
"This two-day journey will leave you renewed, inspired and
motivated to take on your personal goals with a fresh
perspective."
The conference, first established as the Women of Color
Conference in 2007, was meant to provide women from all walks of
life with education and development opportunities. Over the past
decade, the event has grown in size, scope and reputation, drawing
a devoted following. Over the years, men have played an
increasingly important part in the conference, as supporters and
attendees.
Participating sponsorships are available to organizations or
companies who share the vision and goals of this conference.
