Velocity 2023 is a celebration of the power and impact of women, bringing together current and future leaders of all backgrounds to explore ideas for a more equitable future in business and society.  This year, we convene under the theme “propel” to advance the opportunities and success of women leaders in the classroom, workplace, boardroom and beyond.  Together, we can catalyze change that benefits all. True to tradition, Velocity will inspire our passionate and forward-thinking community to continue its learning, growth, leadership and empowerment through all stages of life and career.
