ENCINO, Calif., Nov. 21 /PRNewswire/ -- WITI announced that it will be
hosting the first groundbreaking virtual conference for women using
up-to-the-minute technology on December 3 thru 7, 2001. For only $500 to the
first 100 exhibitors, and $125 for WITI members' registration ($150 for
non-members), this is a great opportunity for companies who want to expand to
the fastest growing segment of online buyers.
"These are tough times. We understand how difficult it is for all of us
to travel. So we are bringing the conference to you, providing easy access to
nationally known speakers, skills and connections, to a worldwide network of
professional women within a few keystrokes," explained Veronica Boaz,
President of WITI's LeadershipXcellence Division, whose vision and foresight
is bringing this event to women's desktops worldwide. "The benefit to
companies is timely and multifaceted. The asynchronous nature of the seminars
and discussions means attendees can take advantage of the sessions at any time
during their work day. There is no need to leave the office -- it affords
unparalleled flexibility."
Virtual Pathways will offer webinars within tracks on business and
professional development, today's technology, and leadership, along with
specially designed tracks for entrepreneurs and students. The tracks include
a broad array of compelling and timely subjects like, "Strategic Thinking,"
"Free to Succeed: Designing the Life You Want in the New Free Agent Economy,"
"Email Campaigns -- an Effective Marketing Strategy," "Leading to Win:
Thriving in a Time of Risk and Coaching -- Give Yourself the Competitive
Edge."
There will be at least five keynote presentations planned, with one or
more available each day of the conference. Women leaders, including
keynoters, Gloria Steinem, Sally Ride, and Dr. Barbara Reinhold, discuss
professional challenges and solutions, and offer answers to attendees'
questions. These addresses will be supported by a live chat or discussion
board allowing interaction with the leading women presenters.
"In today's world, technology is critical for every woman who wants to
achieve her greatest potential," states WITI's CEO and Founder, Carolyn
Leighton. "WITI's virtual conference and exposition is a 'must attend' for
anyone interested in effective tools and connections to advance their
business, career or professional life."
The impressive line-up of corporations for the Virtual Exposition, speaks
