WE'RE EMPOWERING WOMEN
with our annual #WhatWomenBring event

In May 2018, hundreds of women (and men!) from across the Charleston region came together to celebrate women’s leadership in business, community, and culture. Positive energy filled the Charleston Area Convention Center ballroom and spilled out into the hallways, and WCBD News 2 TV anchor & event emcee Octavia Mitchell led the conversation. (See the 2018 photo booth pics here!)

​In May 2019, even more women and men (sold out even with overflow space added by the convention center!) came together to celebrate women's accomplishments and talk about the very real challenges women still face in business and the workplace today. Popular news anchor Octavia Mitchell again served as emcee. (Scroll down to see the event photos... and see the 2019 photo booth pics here!)

In October 2020 (postponed due to the pandemic), people from across South Carolina and beyond came together virtually to celebrate women's leadership in business, community, and culture as news anchor Octavia Mitchell took her emceeing virtual. (See the 2020 virtual photo booth pics here!)

On October 27, 2021, our fourth annual #WhatWomenBring event will take place virtually via Zoom! Join us as popular 
WCBD News 2 TV anchor & event emcee Octavia Mitchell leads an active conversation between you, the audience, and a panel of women leaders who have been changing the face of women in business across 10-12 different industries, each one candidly addressing real issues women commonly confront in the career world.
