Illinois women are Second to No One. We have amazing talent, determination, intelligence, and resolve.

The Illinois Chamber welcomes you to our women's conference as we come together to discuss and further dreams of our already strong women for a stronger Illinois. This year's theme is "The Future is Now." The robust agenda will provide time for networking and connecting with professionals, and topics providing takeaways for all to take back to the office or home. 

"Having been a speaker and attendee at the first IL Chamber’s Women's Conference, I must say this is an event not to be missed.  I was not only motivated but also inspired by  the speakers.  It is amazing to hear what so many of the women of Illinois have accomplished.  The IL Chamber is providing a very valuable tool by empowering women together.

The networking with the attendees also makes this a worthwhile conference  to attend.   Starting a career path or running a successful business, I urge women young and old to attend and learn.  We, the women of Illinois, are second to no one."
