Everything You Need To Know About WIN Summit 2020: Women Lead The Way

About

Extreme pressures on women and increased uncertainties are driving the need for new solutions, new structures, and new leadership skills.

For the first time ever, WIN Summit 2020 will be hosted virtually. Traditionally, our summit has been held each year in New York City. Women came together over the course of a single day to learn how to elicit strategic information in a negotiation, counteract bias, and learn how to leverage their power and bargaining position.

We’re bringing our unique workshops and panels with practical, yet powerful strategies to the digital stage. This year’s summit will center around three themes: negotiation, diversity, and leadership. Led by renowned professors, distinguished thought leaders, and top industry leaders, we’re bringing together inspirational women for powerful discussions and lessons.

Aspire for more, step into your power, and embrace the future as women lead the way. Join us this Tuesday, December 8, 2020.

What to Prepare

The event will be hosted on the virtual venue Hopin. You’ll be able to tune in to each of our sessions from either your phone or your computer. Please note: Hopin is optimized for a desktop or laptop computer, and we highly recommend using your Mac or PC to attend WIN Summit 2020.

1. Create your Hopin profile.

Once you register for WIN Summit and log in to your Hopin account, on their dashboard you can easily edit and update your individual profile. When you first register for the summit on Hopin, you will be greeted by the WIN Summit 2020 Event page. If you go to Hopin.com, you can log in with the account email and password you registered with and will enter the Hopin Dashboard. In either scenario, you can click the bright blue button on the top right corner and scroll to either “Profile” or “Edit Profile”. Here you will be able to upload a profile photo, add a brief bio, and highlight some of the things you think are noteworthy about yourself. You can even link to your personal website or LinkedIn profile. This will help other attendees easily identify and get to know you. You can share as much or as little as you want in your profile.

2. Find a quiet place to watch.

Try to situate yourself in a room that does not have a lot of echo or background noise so you’ll be able to hear all the great advice from our experts. Keep your headphones handy if your home is not able to accommodate a quiet space. Minimize your distractions: try to stay away from noisy electronics and silence your cell phone and computer notifications. A strong WiFi connection will ensure you stay connected

3. Arm yourself with a notebook and pen!

You won’t want to miss out on jotting down notes.

4. Dress for success.

There will be opportunities to meet with representatives from companies and attendees during the event. Be prepared for live video-chats with other attendees throughout the day and during our distinguished networking sessions.
