Day two at this year's was influential through the conversations between panelists and attendees! We wanted people to ask the questions that would bring them to the next step and you guys didn't disappoint! The energy and engagement that everyone brought shows the importance of why isn't just a privilege, but a necessity for our city.

We are blessed as a region in having amazing heavy hitting women in the development space. So what better way to build up women in our region than having everyone come together in the same room with the goal of creating new opportunities and exposure so that the development arena continues to diversify!

Looking back on day one of , what did you take away most from the conversations?
