Event Speakers
Randi Zuckerberg
Founder & CEO, Zuckerberg MediaOur Disrupted World: The New Rules of Engagement and Future Consumers
In 2007, Randi had a front row seat to the launch of the iPhone in Silicon Valley and the necessity for every single business to immediately pivot or go extinct. She helped lead her team at Facebook successfully through that massive shift in consumer behavior, launching new products and programs that are now used by more than a billion people around the globe. She is here now, with over a decade of hindsight and analysis, to help guide you through these current tumultuous times. It has become clear that consumer behavior has again shifted abruptly, and meaningfully, creating an opportunity for businesses willing to take the leap. During this session, Randi will take you through some of the most substantial shifts in consumer behavior expected to happen over the next 12-18 months, and how to get ahead of them, rather than be caught off guard.
Technology provides incredible new opportunities for our lives and our businesses. But it can also make us want to rip our hair out of our head with complication and confusion. In this insightful talk, Randi will give real-world advice on how to make tech work for you and your business: recruiting, managing employees, marketing your business, engaging customers, and much more – in a talk that feels fun, lively, and fresh.

Whether you’re a new business owner, planning a strategic exit, or simply passionate about how women are breaking barriers in business, there is no better time to get involved and discuss how to ensure your values are reflected in your business. Women today are starting businesses at a rate 1.5 times the national average and continue to hold increasing purchasing power. Yet, females still face specific challenges as they grow their own businesses:
- What are the core values of my business, and how do they align with my purpose, mission, profitability and growth goals?
- What are effective ways women are leading more intention lives? What are the top challenges & opportunities for women in business today?
- How do I ensure that my financial planning is aligned with my personal goals and values? What strategies can help support women on their business & personal balance sheets?
American women controlled $11 trillion in 2020, about a third of all financial assets, and that number is expected to reach $30 trillion by 2030 – women will add almost double of the amount of wealth they controlled over the decade of the 2020s.
