“The Next Genderation — Unlocking the Full Potential of Women in the Workplace” is the theme of the 24th Annual Conference of the Professional BusinessWomen of California (PBWC), coming to San Francisco’s Moscone Center on Thursday, May 23, 2013. Tickets to the premiere conference for women in business have gone on sale at www.pbwcconference.org.
One of the most influential women business executives today, Sheryl Sandberg, the Chief Operating Officer of the social network giant Facebook will be one of the keynote speakers. Sandberg has been named to Fortune Magazine’s 50
Most Powerful Women in Business and Time’s 100 Most Influential People in the World! Sandberg’s return appearance at the PBWC Conference will follow the release of her forthcoming book, Lean In, which will be released March 12, 2013.
Another PBWC keynote speaker this year is Jennifer Granholm who served as Michigan’s first female Governor. In 2006, Granholm was re-elected to a second term with the largest number of votes ever cast for governor. She led the state through a brutal economic downturn, and has forged a trailblazing career in politics, in the board room, in the classroom, and on her progressive news show, “The War Room.”
The Professional BusinessWomen of California was founded in 1989 by United States Congresswoman Jackie Speier. The PBWC exists to promote career momentum and open access to a large network of leading business professionals in California and beyond. The mission of PBWC is to provide a forum in which businesswomen from all industries and of all levels can share their wisdom and experience, ignite new thinking, move confidently in the direction of their dreams, fulfill their potential and live remarkable lives.
