For the first time in my career I can turn to an "old girls club" for advice, opportunities, and camaraderie. This event is a must for women in the security industry who already can move mountains but want to move the earth.

I have formed some of the strongest client relationships of my career at the EWF. People buy from people, not companies. This event allows me to get very close to customers and prospects, understand their requirements and form a selling relationship based on trust and friendship. There is no other conference in our industry that provides this level of one-on-one time with clients.

I have made very valuable connections through the EWF. I call on my EWF network for a variety of issues - both professionally and personally. The business value of the EWF more than pays for the annual fees.

VP, Global Technology Security Services
In the beginning, I thought that it was going to be a long conference given that I was a first time attendee and that I didn't have much to contribute especially during the sessions. But it was during these sessions that I met some of the most big-hearted, friendly and warm women who changed my stay at the conference. They gave me the chance to learn from them, to rely on them and most importantly to be their friends. This made the conference one of the most treasured in my life.
