Closing General Session: What to do, what not to do, where to turn, and what success looks like

The epic finale to a jam-packed day, our closing general session will present you with a final, inspiring look at women who are out there doing it at every point of the women’s leadership pipeline. It will also highlight some of the great resources available to you. Pattie Sellers from Fortune Magazine facilitates this embarrassment of riches for ambitious women.

Janet Riccio, EVP of Omnicom and founder of their G23 subsidiary, Kim Polese former CEO of Spikesource, and Ellen Pao, Partner at Kleiner Perkins Caufield & Byers, will share Rapid Fire Advice: When pitching your idea, what’s the one thing you MUST do…and as important: The one thing to avoid at all costs?

We’ll then present a series of organizations that are out there as resources for women who want to get to the next level. Not only will the founders of those organizations speak, but they’ll each bring with them one woman who has successfully gone through their program and used it to accelerate her own idea down its path.

To close the day on that very motivating note, you’ll hear from:

• Sharon Vosmek, CEO of Astia and Astia “graduate” Jennifer Zeszut of Lithium.
• Shaherose Charania, CEO of Women 2.0 and Raissa B. Nebie, start-up founder, who completed a Women 2.0 Founder Labs
• Jan Schaffer, Executive Director of J-Lab and J-Lab grantee Michelle Ferrier
• Natalia Oberti Noguera, founder of Pipeline Fund and one of Pipeline’s innovative angels-in-training, Emma Nothmann
