*2. Registration is open for Annual SWIM Conference, Innovating Through
Adversity (Feb. 10, 2012)
*

When: Feb 10, 2012

Where: MIT Media Lab (E14)

Register at: http://www.sloanwomeninmanagement.com/conference/

*First 100 people to register will receive an exclusive invitation to the
screening of the film MISS REPRESENTATION on Feb 7, 2012 and a special
opportunity to meet the writer and director! Hurry! Don’t miss this
opportunity!

The theme of the 2012 MIT Sloan Women in Management Conference is
“innovating through adversity.” In addition to celebrating the successes of
women, the conference will pose hard-hitting questions about the systemic
gender inequalities that still exist in business today. Whose problem is
this to fix? Are these inequalities are own fault? Our speakers will
explore concrete ways in which women can overcome these inequalities. It’s
time to turn a critical eye on ourselves to figure out what we, as women,
can do on a macro level to eliminate the gender gap in business and
leadership.
We look forward to seeing you on February 10, 2012 as we tackle
controversial topics through candid conversation in an intimate setting
conducive to genuine networking.
