Reconnect, Reassess and Shape Your Future

Join your industry peers at SFNet’s Women in Secured Finance Conference on June 16 in New York City to tackle the big questions we are all facing as we emerge from “pandemic mode.”

This interactive conference will include a keynote speaker, panel presentation and roundtable discussions focusing on issues such as reassessing your career and personal goals and how to achieve them, reconnecting with peers and new hires after being “distanced” during the pandemic, navigating a hybrid/unstructured work setting and avoiding burnout.

There will also be ample networking time at our Opening Reception the evening of June 15.

Space for this conference is limited. Register soon to guarantee your spot.
