The Women's Conference
Site purpose
Every year, 20,000 people attend the high-profile California Women's Conference, seen as the premier forum for women. Globally recognised politicians, business leaders, human rights advocates, sports stars, celebrities, artists, and musicians speak to motivate, inspire, and lead.
SilverStripe built the California Women's Conference website which not only supports the actual conference, but also acts as an online forum for women throughout the year.
