How to select your workshops
The first step is to register and choose your workshops. To help you do so, we have provided the Guide to Selecting Your Sessions, which contains detailed descriptions of each session and the days/times that each is offered. Have your workshop selections ready when you begin the registration process so that you do not time out. We suggest having a second choice at hand in case your first choice is no longer available.

Requesting Executive Women’s Forum (EWF) workshops
This year, Executive Women’s Forum workshops may not be selected during online registration. When you register for the conference, provide workshop choices from main conference agenda. At the end of the registration process, click the box titled, “I would like to request registration in one or more Executive Women’s Forum workshop(s).” After you complete online registration, you will receive an email with a link to follow to request session(s) in this track and provide your information. All requests for Executive Women’s Forum workshops should be considered pending. If we are able to accommodate your request(s), you will be moved from the workshop(s) you originally selected and will receive confirmation of your new schedule. If we are not able to accommodate your request(s), we will let you know that as well and you will retain the workshop choices you previously secured.
