Conference Background

 While only about 38% of Harvard Business School students are women, the Dynamic Women in Business Conference is the longest running and largest conference on campus. Students from HBS and hundreds of women from other Boston schools and nearby cities attend this annual event! Every year, our tickets sell out quickly!

The Dynamic Women in Business Conference is held annually on the last Saturday or the second to last Saturday of January.

Not only are we honored to invite the most outstanding women in business to be our keynote speakers, but we also have multiple panel discussions running simultaneously throughout the day which are a forum to explore various industries and functions, as well as hot topics in the business world.

We understand the importance for our participants to be able to interact with our distinguished speakers.  Therefore, every year we also arrange NETWORKING LUNCHES for all participants to interact with panelists.


What is so special about this Conference? Hear what our past participants said.
“I love the conference! Unlike most conferences where speakers talk about their industries, their companies, their strategies, this is the conference where speakers talk about themselves - they as a businesswoman, they as a human being! I feel so inspired and empowered!” -  HBS Student 

“This is one of the best conferences I have ever attended! You can tell this is good when Burden Hall is totally packed with women 8:30am on a Saturday morning!” - Harvard KSG Student 

“It was so wonderful for us students to be able to mingle with the speakers over lunch. These are successful business women yet they are so approachable and supportive, they even give me interview advice!”
- Harvard Undergraduate 

“My wife made me go to the Conference. I thought it was just some women's talk. I was wrong. I attended the Power Couples Panel. It was so inspiring! I am glad to hear that people can really manage a high-power career and their family life. I went to the panel twice!” - HBS Partner

“In our times, when we first started our career, there was so little support for women. I'm so glad to see events like this happening. I would come again next year!” - Speaker

“I enjoyed this conference myself too! I have spoken on the Marketing Panel, Entrepreneurship Panel, Retail Panel. I am definitely coming again, what should I sit on this year?” - Speaker
