The Texas Conference for Women is a nonprofit, nonpartisan leadership conference for women of all ages and backgrounds. The first annual conference was held in 2000 in Austin, Texas as a one-day event consisting of keynote addresses and breakout sessions led by experts in the fields of business, philanthropy, health, finance, media and professional development. Programming is directed toward working women and touches on both professional and personal development. Attendees learn new communication skills, leadership strategies and work/life balance tools designed to enhance their professional and personal growth.
In response to the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020 and 2021, the Conference was moved to a virtual format. In 2022, the Conference is offering both an in-person event in Austin and an online event.
Current keynote speakers include:
- Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie, award-winning author
- José Andrés, chef, humanitarian & founder, World Central Kitchen
- Brené Brown, researcher & storyteller
- Selena Gomez, actor, producer, singer, philanthropist
