Blank Rome LLP was pleased to host our community of dynamic women in law and business for our firm's Seventh Annual Women’s Summit. The summit took place in Washington, D.C., from April 26, 2023–April 28, 2023, and included inspiring speakers, interactive workshops, engaging discussions, valuable networking, and entertainment.

This year's theme was "Leading Through Transformative Times." Today’s leaders are operating in a time of rapid global transformation. To succeed, they must anticipate, adapt to, and embrace change—personally, professionally, and in their organizations and communities. Organizations are looking to modern leaders to advise on and ensure business resilience, maximize human potential, and create sustainable values and impact amid ever-increasing technological disruption, societal change, and demographic shifts in the workforce of the future.

Michelle Silverthorn, Founder & CEO of Inclusion Nation, served as a feature presenter and workshop leader. Michelle led attendees in a one-of-a-kind interactive workshop on the practical steps needed to be an inclusive leader.
