WICT’s Leadership Conference is the preeminent conference for educating women in the industry. Through inspiring keynote sessions, innovative workshops and interfacing with industry colleagues, attendees were immersed in leadership activities that will help to impact their bottom line.

The conference began with a serving of "Morning Joe," as the hosts of MSNBC's hit show, Joe Scarborough and Mika Brzezinski, joined us to deliver remarks based on Mika's recent book, Knowing Your Value.
