From the first annual conference in 2015 that introduced BU herNetwork to the broader BU campus community, herNetwork’s annual conferences have continued to draw audiences from not only the BU campus, but also beyond.

In tradition with our previous years, our conference has united over 30 inspirational, powerful, and successful female professionals who’ve made remarkable strides in their careers to engage in compelling conversations on their career journey, personal experiences, and advice – whether it’s launching, navigating, or succeeding – as women in business.

In connecting our undergraduate members with inspirational female leaders and professionals, we hope they will feel empowered and supported while embarking on their own professional journeys and beyond.
