The summit was held at Marshall Health Network Arena in Huntington, WV.
It was most useful for West Virginia and Appalachian women early or mid-career, and their allies, who wanted motivational talks and practical advice on difficult workplace conversations, with Brooke Shields scheduled to keynote and Amy Purdy scheduled to host. It was a one-day regional event backed mostly by local sponsors such as WesBanco and Valley Health, so those wanting technical depth or a national industry audience would have gotten less from it.
Attendees at women's professional empowerment summits usually wear business casual or smart casual, with comfortable shoes for a full day at an arena venue.
