Gearing Up Conference

2024: Stretch to the C-Suite

Stretch to the C-Suite

In 2022, men overwhelmingly dominated the C-suite, with only 26% of positions occupied by women. It's time for a change, and this year's Gearing Up conference, themed "Stretch to the C-Suite," is dedicated to fostering the next generation of female leaders in corporate settings.

Our event is not your typical leadership conference; it's a transformative experience tailored exclusively for women in corporate roles. Our mission is crystal clear: empower you to harness your existing skills and capabilities to propel more women into C-suite roles. Many women already possess the leadership qualities needed to shatter glass ceilings and close gender disparities. Join us for a conference that's not just about talk but action. Get ready to expand your potential, overcome obstacles, and emerge as the corporate leader you were destined to be.
