What started out as a small government initiative for working women is now an event attended by thousands and draws only the most inspirational voices to speak. The 2008 Women's Conference was held in Long Beach, CA yesterday, hosted by Maria Shriver and Arnold Schwarzenegger. The all-day conference drew a crowd of 14,000 international women from various professional walks of life and 60 speakers aiming to "empower and inspire women to become architects of change." The agenda covered all the bases with discussions about how to live an authentic life, how to step forward with confidence, starting your own business, managing your financial life, and many, many, more.

i heard about this a while back when Jennifer lopez was signed on to speak and i think that it's really nice that women decide to take such an active role in things these days. we need to have positive role models who are successful in their own right and who are able to make an impact.

Savvy were you there too?? I was! I was stuck working in the Exhibition Hall for the most part, but I did sneak out to see a few of the speeches.
