The Power Up Conference: Its Mission
The Power Up Concert and Conference starts with the question: “What’s your Big RE?” and will address effective civic engagement, innovative DEI leadership practices and creating the workplace of the future through feature talks, panels, and participatory roundtables. Take The Lead will recognize individuals and companies who are blazing a trail in gender and diversity parity. A free musical concert – celebrating Take The Lead’s eighth anniversary and the 80th birthday of Gloria Feldt, its co-founder and women’s advocate– is a conference highlight.
Feldt notes: “Despite the recent rollbacks of racial and women’s rights, the conference’s aim is to move forward together to share and develop concrete steps to achieve our mission– equality for all women+ in a society and workplace where everyone can thrive. By sponsoring the Power Up Conference, our partners will not only contribute to that effort, but help to move it forward by their active participation.”
Sponsorship Benefits
Power Up Conference sponsors will have opportunities to showcase their brand and services through social media features, LinkedIn Live events, onsite and online logo displays, and spotlights in Take The Lead’s widely-read and -followed weekly newsletter. Sponsors will also receive online and onsite attendee passes and, depending on level, a one-year license to Take The Lead’s signature “9 Leadership Power Tools” online course, culminating in a personalized, company-wide speech delivered by Feldt, a New York Times best-selling author and award-winning women’s rights icon.
Take The Lead has reached over 1.5 million women+ and men via its robust social media, creative programming, special events, and newsletter audiences, and has trained over 5,000 women+ to take their fair share of leadership equity.
