EVENT DETAILS

Join Women In Product & LinkedIn for a networking event & panel discussion on how women (and men!) in product leadership positions have leveraged their networks to advance their careers. Networking is sometimes considered an unpleasant activity & women, especially, are uncomfortable with networking. However, your network can be your most powerful asset in advancing your career. Learn from the panel on how to make your network count. #TheWayIn.

Doors are open at 5pm. Appetizers & beverages will be provided. Please arrive early to mix, mingle & have a LinkedIn employee help you rock your profile & update your photo with a professional head shot! We will have time for Q&A from the audience afterwards. A nominal fee of $10 is requested to cover WIP programming costs for local events & our annual conference.

Our panel consists of leaders in product, design, & executive roles at top companies.
