For Women By Women
The real power of FAB comes from its must-see/hear/meet format.
The simple act of bringing women together to inspire, support, educate, empower, and activate one another in an industry designed around serving others is in and of itself a triumph, a nurturing and revolutionary act, which, in turn, inspires others. We are pleased to bring together over 70 speakers to achieve just that!
