This month, San Francisco is the epicenter of Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton's vision for a Women and the Economy Summit!
**Inspired by this historic gathering, local NGOs are hosting a plethora of exciting events throughout the week culminating in live simulcasts of Clinton's keynote address on Friday morning. See below for a full list!
Come celebrate women and the economy with SPARK!
In advance of an important Pacific trade region conference that the US is hosting in November, SF hosts a high-level summit focusing on women and issues like access to capital and markets, skills and capacity building, and leadership. Delegates include CEOs, top US Cabinet members, Ministers of APEC economies Australia, Japan, China, Mexico, Russia, the Republic of Korea, and more!
