The New York Times Announces The New Rules Summit: Women, Leadership & A Playbook for Change

(August 22, 2018, Columbus, OH)—Please join WELD at The New York Times inaugural New Rules Summit: Women, Leadership & A Playbook for Change on September 26–27, 2018 in New York.

This ambitious conference builds on a year of the Times’s Pulitzer Prize-winning reporting on gender and the workplace — and takes the discussion to a new, solution-oriented level. Convening leaders and influencers from across industries, our goal is to identify new rules of leadership and help leaders of all kinds of organizations create inclusive, equitable cultures that empower women to succeed.

Celebrated Times journalists such as Jodi Kantor, Jessica Bennett, David Gelles, Megan Twohey and others will moderate lively discussions with speakers such as Melinda Gates, Co-Chair of the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation; Mary T. Barra, Chairman and C.E.O. of General Motors Company; Jamie Dimon, Chairman and C.E.O. of JPMorgan Chase; Debra L. Lee, Former Chairman and C.E.O. of BET Networks; Sophia Amoruso, Founder and C.E.O. of Girlboss; and more.

Central to the program are working sessions where attendees will collaborate to propose actions that decision-makers can take to drive change in both the public and private sectors. These recommendations will be published in a special section of The New York Times as a model for a new playbook for change. Visit newrulessummit.com to learn more.

The target audience for this special event are board directors, CEOs, C-Suite, senior executives and entrepreneurs of any gender.

WELD members and employees of WELD corporate members will receive an advanced opportunity for a 20% discount from the conference rate – check your email on 8/22 for details!

WELD encourages you to join us with the New York Times New Rules Summit Team and take advantage of this unique opportunity to work alongside internationally known thought leaders to develop strategies to advance women and move the needle.

We hope to see you at the conference!
