From October 8-11, head to San Francisco for the 3rd Annual Emerging Women Live Conference at the Park Central Hotel in San Francisco. The immersive four-day conference consists of integrative practices, workshops and networking circles, in addition to outstanding keynotes and stellar panel discussions, which inform, educate and highlight attendees' authentic leadership skills.

"Emerging Women Live is important because belonging in a tribe is important for women," said Bren� Brown.

More than 500 women come together annually for this one-of-a-kind immersive experience focused on empowering women to lead from a place of personal and collective power. Four days of keynote speakers, workshops and mentoring circles become the catalyst for women to embody their most impactful leadership identity in both their personal and professional lives.

Keynote speakers this year include world-renowned environmentalist and humanitarian Jane Goodall; #1 New York Times Bestselling author of "Daring Greatly" and "The Gifts of Imperfection," Bren� Brown; International voice for quality education and women's empowerment Dr. Tererai Trent; creativity expert and best-selling author of "Eat, Pray, Love," on tour for her newest novel "Big Magic," author Elizabeth Gilbert; psychotherapist, organizational consultant, and Ted.com sensation with over 6.5M views, Esther Perel; MD, entrepreneur and bestselling author of TalkRX, Dr. Neha Sangwan; and founders of innovative companies such as Portfolia, New Belgium Brewery, Stitch Fix, Merge Lane and executive leaders from larger corporations such as Cisco, Linkedin, and Google, among others.

Emerging Women is proud to present a lineup of speakers who are each movers and shakers in their own industry and will be headlining the Emerging Live Speaker Panel. Emerging Women is a multi-tiered platform that exists to support and inspire women to express themselves authentically through the work that they do. Chantal Pierrat, a University of Colorado MBA graduate and former VP of Sales and Marketing of a multimedia publishing company, created Emerging Women in September 2012 in order to support the integration of consciousness and business. Pierrat's ultimate vision is to weave feminine leadership and authenticity into businesses, and to create a world where women have a strong voice in the shaping of our future.

"Emerging Women Live offers cutting-edge leadership technologies for women that are based in authenticity, collaboration and heart," said Chantal Pierrat, Emerging Women Founder. "We are about creating an ecosystem for women who are on fire to change our current leadership paradigms by putting our humanity at the center of everything we do."

Limited tickets are still available for Emerging Women Live and can be purchased here. Ticket pricing is also available at Corporate Group Ticket Rates. For those unable to come to the conference, Emerging Women Live will be providing a free Live Stream to all women who want to enhance their leadership qualities.
