The Prudential Insurance Company of America and the Fearless Entrepreneur are proud to bring WomenRock, an interactive evening event, to the women of the Silicon Valley.
The mission of WomenRock is simple -- to provide smart, cutting-edge information to some of the savviest women in the United States. While many conferences rehash tired material, WomenRock strives to provide thought-provoking content on the hottest trending topics for women. This event will inspire women to think differently about themselves, their health, their money and their technology.
Our speakers are innovators, influencers and icons who are at the frontier of the new, new. Keynotes and panels will employ a TED-like format to create an engaging and dynamic experience for both the audience and the presenters.
WomenRock is an open forum for business leaders, entrepreneurs and community leaders who are passionate about learning, making connections and making a difference.
Program Includes:
- Kick-off networking reception with light bites
- Thought provoking keynote speakers
- Interactive hall featuring leading providers of cutting edge products and services
- Raffle for a barrel and wine sampling for ten at The Winery SF on Treasure Island
