Motivational speaker Adrienne Bulinski and Miss Kentucky Hannah Edelen are two of the headliners at the Young Women LEAD conference at Northern Kentucky University in October.
Conference leaders said they are happy to be able to bring attendants together in person this year for interactive breakout sessions, keynote speakers, lunch and networking.
“We are excited to be back live and in-person again this year,” said Dr. Kimberly Code, director of NKU’s Institute for Talent Development and Gifted Studies. “Our virtual conferences the past two years reached so many more girls, but I am looking forward to seeing girls on their feet and having them engaged in the live in-person conference.”
The conference is free to all participants, and more than 900 students are expected to attend on Oct. 17 and 18.
NKU has been hosting Young Women LEAD for more than 10 years.
“I believe in this program so much because I have seen the impact on the thousands of girls who have attended over the past 12 years,” Code said. “If I can help even just one girl be a confident leader today, provide her with hope to be something that she never thought possible, and help her envision herself in a future career she didn’t think possible, then we have accomplished our goal for the conference.”
The event is open to all high school girls. Those interested in attending can register here. Registration is first-come, first-served and is limited to the first 450 registrants each day.
The conference will be held at the student union at 20 Kenton Drive in Highland Heights.
