HIGH POINT, N.C. — WithIt will once again offer a virtual streaming ticket option for their annual professional conference, slated for Aug. 13-14.
“WithIt’s mission to provide educational opportunities to women in the home furnishings industry is able to reach a broader audience through virtual programs,” said Amy Van Dorp, executive director of WithIt. “We know that companies are being very careful about travel expenditures and not everyone can come to Kansas City. Our virtual ticket allows women to still have access to quality professional development.”
This year’s conference, titled “Forging Strong Leaders,” is being held at the InterContinental Hotel Kansas City at the Plaza in Kansas City, Missouri. The two-day program focuses on people, performance and purpose. Topics are focused on change management, creativity, culture and emotional intelligence for a leadership pipeline ready to take on the challenges confronting our industry. Membership is not required to attend.
The virtual ticket offers live streaming of the four keynote speakers and two panels on the main stage both Thursday and Friday morning, from 9:30 a.m. to 1:30 p.m. Speakers include Mary Messner, Clarence Smith, Lorri Kelley and Velera Wilson, along with panels moderated by Mary Helen Rogers and Nora Gomez.
The cost for virtual tickets is $100 for non-members and can be purchased at Withit.org. Links to recordings will be available to ticket holders for a limited time following the event.
