Great upcoming conferences in NY and CA - 85 Broads

I'm a member of 85 Broads and they have great events.  85 Broads was founded initially as a Goldman Sachs alumni network but now it's open to all women worldwide (and also selected men with the "guys who rock" membership). Anyway, check out these really cool conferences!
Happy networking,
Katharine

Compass Summit

what's possible. what matters. what's ahead.

Compass, an intimate gathering of innovative thinkers, addresses urgent large-scale challenges facing our companies and institutions.  Social innovation, technology and finance are at the core of the program playing key roles in: job creation, capital shortages, climate change, energy, mass urbanization - big ideas, driven by conversations.

Thanks to Guy Who Rocks Peter Petre we are offering a special registration rate to the first 50 members and friends of 85 Broads to register before August 10th.  REGISTER.

The program is designed to spark dialogues among people from different ‘tribes’ whose paths don't often cross—scientists, economists, engineering and technology executives, venture capitalists, bankers, environmental advocates and policymakers.
