While the month of March—and in particular March 8—represents an international celebration of women’s accomplishments, pursuit of equality, and strides toward breaking the glass ceiling, here at cred we’re committed to prioritizing women’s empowerment year-round.

Our all-women team is thrilled by recent trends in the events industry toward making speaker lineups more diverse and representative. Events like The Lean Startup Conference have taken a 50/50 pledge to ensure gender-balanced agendas, while Shoptalk resolved to feature an all-women speaker lineup (with a 50/50 promise for subsequent years). Our event management team is happy to collaborate with many clients who prioritize gender parity on their stages.

cred’s speaker management team is proud to work with a number of inspirational women speakers across industries. Our female speakers include founders, C-suite executives, leaders in STEM, authors, medical experts, and many other trailblazers. They’ve shared their stories on stages at SXSW, Startup Grind, Techonomy, TED, Web Summit, Seattle Interactive, and The Economist Innovation Summit, among many others. We love working with these dynamic speakers to help them raise their speaking platform and inspire audiences across the globe.

We’re celebrating International Women’s Day by highlighting a few of cred’s fierce female speakers.
