Several decades ago, you would only come across a few women in banking, construction, and other professionals and fields. A woman’s role was mostly limited to taking care of their families. This was until it was discovered that women were pretty good at multitasking. Holding a job like being a keynote speaker, an architect and so on, does not get in their way of being good mothers,
Great strides have been made, and women have been empowered across the globe. The women empowerment campaign is not yet over. You have probably come across a scheduled women conference event; you are encouraged to attend. Besides that, here are the other reasons why you should start visiting the gatherings.
1. They are fun
The idea of having female speakers making inside jokes and sharing hearty laughter with other women is exciting. At the women conferences, it is where women get to share their experiences without the fear of being judged by their male counterparts.
The beauty and fun of being in such an ecosystem is that you get to be comfortable and yourself. Meeting new people is also fun.
2. An opportunity to network
As much as there has been a lot of sensitization on gender balance in the corporate world, women still have a long way to go. They have been locked out several opportunities as some roles are being perceived as suitable for men. A women’s conference is an opportunity to meet female corporates who believe in you.
During such events, you can share your profile with other women holding executive positions in their jobs. Who knows? You could secure yourself a job. If you are an entrepreneur, this would be an opportunity to create brand awareness and create contacts. In such a setting, it is easy for you to come across someone ready to empower and invest in you.
3. Skill development
Women conferences also provide you an opportunity to develop your skills. Note that most of the events have women speakers thriving in different fields. Attending industry-specific women conferences is what you need to create meaningful connections and get insights into how you can develop your skills.
By sharing with other women in your field, you can understand the different challenges they face and the strategies used to mitigate them. Sharing real-life experiences will help you better handle your weaknesses and make the most out of your strengths,
There is a lot to benefit from being part of such communities. Do not be a loner. Keep track of your local event schedule. Watch out for the next women conference in your area and plan to attend. You could end up meeting your future employer, potential clients, or even make resourceful friends.
Make ample preparation to make the most out of such meetings. Please don’t forget to carry your business cards, a good smile, and the zeal to interact and share. There is a lot that is in for you in this environment.
