Ten good reasons
If you would like your employer to agree to you attending WES conference you will need to explain the benefit not only to you, but to your company. We have compiled a list below to help you gain full support of your boss. Your boss can invest in you and support you:
- Paid time off work
- Travel
- Registration fees in full or in part
And we’ve designed the conference to run over a Friday and Saturday so you can share the commitment.
- You’ll get two days glimpsing into the future, broadening your vision and horizons. You can learn creativity techniques and take a personal development session and have time to take a look at your career and pick up tips from others.
- Learn how other companies are working to “Build a Better World” and how you and your company can make a difference.
- You’ll be inspired by the research and the seminars by women and for women and if you bring back just one valuable idea, the whole trip will be worth it.
- Networking opportunities galore: this is an ideal opportunity to meet industry experts from different disciplines. This is a great resource for you and your company when you need help with a future project, have a position to fill, or just need someone to bounce ideas off. Keep those business cards you collect. They will come in handy.
- Renew your commitment to your career. The role models in our keynotes, panels and presentations have been proven to inspire attendees and renew their commitment to their careers. Employee retention is a good thing, it saves on training and recruitment costs.
- With panel and workshop sessions you will find a format to inspire you
- This event is open to all women, whatever stage of their career. Men are welcome to attend too.
- Through networking and connecting find out about how other employers support their women through life’s ups and downs.
- It’s great value. Compare WES conference to other conferences and see what you get for your money.
- And how can you put a value on an inspired and motivated employee?
Tip: Bring your Business Card to WES conference. It may be a good idea to bring some printed business cards. Even if you are a student, it is always good to have business cards with you so you can network like a professional. And make sure you visit the WESweb space to pick up some handy networking tips before you go.
