Keynote: Confidence is Not Rocket Science, presented by Maureen Zappala 

Maureen Zappala, a former NASA propulsion engineer (aka, "rocket scientist!") and founder of High Altitude Strategies, is an award winning speaker, author and presentation skills coach. She works with high-performers to overcome the secret self-doubt of Impostor Syndrome so they can match their confidence to competence and have more influence. She lived in Cleveland for over 36 years before moving to Las Vegas Nevada in August 2019.

Conference Workshops: Participants can choose three workshops to attend during the conference. During the registration process, participants can pick & choose workshops that meet their needs. Conference includes Breakfast Kickoff & Women-In-Business Luncheon.
