This is the only leadership conference that targets professional Black women, with all the content delivered by Black women.

The $129 registration fee includes attendance for both days, conference workbook, complimentary professional headshot, a light breakfast and lunch. Early bird registration (through March 31) is $97.

About Black Women’s Leadership Conference: The 2019 Black Women’s Leadership Conference is the Midwest’s premier leadership conference to connect with leaders, influencers, entrepreneurs, changemakers & creatives who are impacting their industries and communities. From intimate interviews to in-depth master classes, you’ll be inspired and equipped with the strategies you need to level up your career.

About Sabrina Madison: After working a traditional 9-5 since forever, Madison left her well-paying job to work full-time for Black women and families. Realizing there was nothing in the Midwest specifically devoted to the professional development of Black women she organized the first Black Women’s Leadership Conference in 2016. The success following the first conference led to the launch of the Black Business Expo and the Black Excellence Youth Conference (BEYC). In 2017, Madison opened the doors to the Progress Center for Black Women, with the mission to create more Black women who are leaders, doers, and owners.
