The organizations covered in The List host a ton of virtual events. Webinars and virtual events can often be a waste of time, but if you put together the right host, speaker/panel, topic, and have a smart interaction with the audience, these events can be great. Just last week I highlighted an awesome panel on women in sports produced by The Female Quotient.
The problem is that there are too many organizations and events for any one person to figure out what event to attend on any given day.
That’s why I’m introducing a calendar of events produced by women, for women. The events are hosted by one of the organizations I track which focuses on eliminating the wage gap, leadership gap, investing gap, startup gap, etc., but not all the events hammer you over the head with a negotiation tactic or networking opportunity.
If you use Google Calendar, you can subscribe. Or view online. There are free events, paid events, members only events.
