The mission of the annual WILD conference is to empower women in business — whether they own a business, work in a business, or are thinking of starting up a business. Through a combination of lectures and interactive networking sessions, the WILD Conference allows women executives to explore pathways to achieve their professional goals.
“The WILD Conference has allowed me to have a clear focus on what challenges women have in the path of professional careers and has given me the chance to bring valid information and mentoring opportunities to other women having that same challenge,” explains Horne. “I’ve been able to take advantage of those opportunities to learn and grow, as well as the attendees, and to meet some of these inspiring women and to continue to grow those relationships.”
Organizers say this year’s conference will provide more than 500 guests with access to networking opportunities; a silent auction that benefits a philanthropic outreach; and two inspiring speakers — past keynote speaker Grace Killelea, a seasoned human re-source expert who will focus her address on leadership, and Jayne Huston, a past WILD Legacy Award winner and director of Seton Hill’s E-Magnify program, which provides resource support to women entrepreneurs.
