The BWAM conference was an empowering and inspiring event - the connections made will last a lifetime. I gained an impressive global network of women across roles and functions in asset management who have helped advance my career while also having the opportunity to support and mentor other BWAM members.
Wonderful conference with meaningful conversations on intersectionality and the role the Financial Services industry can play in advancing equity and opportunities. I enjoyed the conference, fellow panelist and attendees. A fantastic agenda filled with great speakers, mentors and resources. Plenty of content but with smart ways of networking.
[T]he Black Women in Asset Management (BWAM) 2023 Annual Conference was jam packed with content-rich speakers and opportunities for engagement to drive commercial impact. This experience resonated with the core values at Goldman Sachs—our commitment to an inclusive and dynamic environment fostering continuous learning and growth.

This was the most impressively brilliant and impressively beautiful rooms of people I’ve ever had the joy of spending a day with.
