    The Sustainability Initiative empowers leaders everywhere to act, professionally and personally, so that humans and nature can thrive for generations to come.
  • Capital Conversations
    Four simultaneous discussions with powerhouse fellow alumnae who have invested or managed investments from $500 to hundreds of millions and founders who have knocked it out of the park, collectively raising nearly $100 million. If you are or want to be in the 33% of investors who are women or beat the 2% odds of fundraising as a woman, join the conversation at Micro, Angel, VC, or PE/Late Stage salons. (Chatham House Rules apply.)
  • Finding Your Voice, Making Your Impact
    Too often, internalized negative messages keep us from realizing our full potential. In this session, you will learn practical strategies to push past self-doubt to unleash your unique contributions to the world.
  • Cryptocurrency and the Future of Finance
    Financial systems make the world go round; and the rise of cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin have rapidly captured public and popular attention. Separate the signal from the noise with the latest research from MIT Sloan.
