They include Out-in-Front Talks, “Up-Close” Conversations, Transformative Leadership Panels, Awards Celebrations, Lightning Rounds, Cross-Industry Collaborations, Lead-and-Succeed Workshops, and Strategic Partnership Sessions. AWESOME recognizes outstanding women each year with the AWESOME Legendary Leadership (ALL) Award and will celebrate the 2020 honorees in a virtual ceremony.
