In recent years, women who attend female-focused conferences have noticed their popularity is on the rise. In fact, the number of women leading Fortune 500 companies is at an all-time high and Forbes annual ranking of the most powerful women includes names like German Chancellor Angela Merkel, Melinda Gates, Facebook COO Sheryl Sandberg, and General Motors CEO Mary Barra. So, it’s easy to understand why women are eagerly signing up for conferences where their voice is heard and celebrated. Here are four women’s conferences to check out:
